Blobject

A blobject is a special type of object that looks like a blob. You know how when you play with slime or putty, it stretches and changes shape easily? Well, a blobject is kind of like that.

But instead of being made of slime or putty, a blobject is usually made of a special type of plastic material that can be molded into different shapes. This material is called thermoplastic elastomer, or TPE for short.

Because blobjects can be molded into any shape, they are often used to make things that need to be soft and flexible, like toy balls or phone cases.

So, next time you see something that looks like a blob but is actually a cool and useful thing, you can call it a blobject!
