sponge ball

Soft squeezable toy

A sponge ball is a soft, compressible ball made of foam rubber or similar material.

Magicians use sponge balls for sleight-of-hand tricks because they compress easily and can be concealed in the hand.

In physical therapy and exercise, sponge balls serve as low-impact tools for grip strengthening: Squeeze the sponge ball ten times with each hand.
