Is Koosh Ball
still made?
Confirmed through PlayMonster's current Koosh catalog and Koosh Classic product page, which describes the three-inch ball as the return of the original.
The short history
Introduced in 1987, Koosh turned a practical idea—making catch easier for small hands—into one of the era's most tactile toy sensations.
What survived
A dense burst of flexible rubber strands still makes the ball unusually soft, grippable and forgiving to catch indoors or outside.
What changed
The core ball is a revival under a licensed maker, while the broader range now includes minis, oversized balls, paddles, launchers and target games.
Current versions
PlayMonster currently lists the Classic three-inch ball alongside Minis, Mondo sizes and several active-play extensions. The Classic is the closest starting point for the remembered desk-drawer or playground version.
