bouncy ball

Elastic rubber sphere

A bouncy ball is a small rubber or synthetic ball designed to rebound vigorously when thrown against a hard surface.

Children prize them for their unpredictable ricochets.

They're often sold in vending machines or given as party favors: The bouncy ball disappeared under the couch.
