The Hoberman Sphere starts small and grows larger. And vice versa.
Made of rainbow-colored plastic links, the sphere expands to 30 inches in
diameter and contracts to a compact 9.5 inches. There's a hypnotic fascination
in making the sphere expand and contract over and over again, but if kids want
to do more with their sphere, a guide (included) lists some possibilities. How
about trying the ballerina spin, the flip down, or the hot potato? The sphere
can also be a fashion accessory. Think spiked hat or, even better, space
helmet. Another option is to hang the sphere as a mobile. A pulley system is
included, and a pull of the ring will cause the sphere to contract. Release
the ring for expansion. Plenty of fun, the Hoberman Sphere might get kids
thinking about mechanical engineering and some folding/unfolding projects of
their own. Winner of the Parents' Choice Award. --Wendy Slotboom
