I looked everywhere for one including target and my local learning resources store but there’s only expanded up to 18 inches, pathetic. I found this one on desertcart and was amazed at how big it got. This was a big hit for both my daughters my youngest can fit her entire body inside the sphere when it’s fully expanded. The sphere comes with ideas on games to play with it which both my girls had fun doing. Its held up great to all the play, so it seems very durable. Don’t pass this great stem item up!
