The Wubble Bubble is made of “super-thermo-stretchtacular stuff,” which is playful marketing speak for synthetic rubber. Inside its packaging is a pump, which inflates the ball up to 36-inches in diameter. At this pressure level, the material stretches thin and taught, giving off the appearance of a giant bubble or balloon — except, of course, that it bounces and can be kicked, jumped on, and/or catapult off with little risk of explosion. While not totally impervious to holes ⏤ it can be popped if you stick it with a screwdriver or a tree branch ⏤ it includes a repair kit for quick and easy patching before being returned to service. There are five types of Wubble Bubble: the Super, which is extra strong and comes in a variety of colors; the Brite, which lights up; the Water, a refillable handheld water balloon; the Tiny, which is self-explanatory; and the WubbleX ⏤ an anti-gravity ball that comes with multiple cans of helium. Wubble Bubbles are currently sold in all the big-box stores and online and start at around $15. Whether or not they’ll be the toy sensation that’s sweeping the nation this holiday season, however, is still up in the air ⏤ floating, like a bubble, of course. Buy Now $15
