The Velvet Squeeze as Needoh calls it.

Ball with a fuzzy coat filled with a gell that is a sort of medium firmness, harder than, say a Funky Pup, but softer than a Nice Cube. Some people are saying it  has the firmness of a marshmallow.

The fuzz on the outside has a wavey pattern.

6 cm in diameter.

Age suitability: 3 years plus.

Comes in several colours.  We will randomly pick one pack containing one Fuzz Ball.

Please note that Needoh toys may leak or split during use.  The contents are not toxic but may mark or stain.
