 It's a Koosh Ball, it was developed in 1986 by Scott Stillinger to be easy for his daughter and son (5 and 8 years old respectively) to hold and throw. It was named after the sound it made when it landed.

A KOOSH ball!!! Nice colours, I like this a lot. Neat way you did the border too, some might not like it but I think it's cute.

Definitely amusing. What does it look like when the right side is also lit?

A koosh ball, do I win a prize? I used to have a koosh bear, it was so cute. Interesting what you've done with the boarder, but I like the shot and great colors gives it the old forgotten feel.

I used to have one of those as a kid. They were cool...........

Nice idea, nice composition, however I always remembered these are really brightly coloured. Some additional Saturation and contrast on this to make the colours really pop I think would have worked better, rather than these more pale colours.

Taking me back to my childhood.......
