Types of Handmade Stress Balls

1. Crispy Sensory Bead Balls

    Filling: A mix of beads, sand, or tiny pebbles, vacuum-sealed inside a durable ball skin.

    Features: Produces crisp, ASMR-friendly sounds when squeezed or stretched. The uneven texture and resistance make kneading addictive.

2. Soft & Squishy Clay/Slime Balls

    Filling: Cloud-like clay, fluffy slime, often blended with hard inserts (e.g., LEGO pieces, faux rice grains, mini charms).

    Features: Delivers a satisfying squish with contrasting textures. The hidden crunchy bits create subtle crackling noises for extra sensory joy.

3. Liquid Magic Water Balls

    Filling: Water-based gel or thickened liquid mixed with glitter, sequins, or floating decors.

    Features: Mimics the mesmerizing flow of lava lamps. Gentle squeezes create swirling patterns, perfect for visual relaxation.
