E Hines – Jelly marbles are non-toxic, I would worry more about it being a choking hazard. They are made up of a cross-linked co-polymer.

If you were to swallow one jelly marble, would it be toxic?
Also, what is the chemical formula for the jelly marble?

The two polymers are actually quite similar. The polymer in the creatures is actual a form of the “baby diaper polymer”, which is of a slightly different chemical composition than the Jelly Marble polymer, but has the same amazing water-absorbing properties!

Are the jelly marbles similar to the animals that grow to “giant” sizes after being soaked in water?
