If you've never made a surprise ball before, I think the easiest way to start is with a round object. Start with one of these Plush Hairy Eyeball bouncy balls! They are so dang fun! Wrap with the white paper streamers and when it's completely covered, trim the streamer and secure with glue.
Next take a Jack-O'-Lantern Whoopee Cushion and wrap it around the ball, then wrap with the streamer paper. You know the kids will love this one!
The third thing that is wrapped inside is one of these Halloween Rubber Duckies, they are so cute! Lots of different options, and to wrap them, just wrap around and secure it to the ball, and then wrap around until it's covered.
Then you'll want to start making the ball round again, so place one of these Halloween Monster Kick-Ball toys where you find a space and wrap it up!
Now take a couple of those Skeleton & Monster Fingers and wrap them one at a time and make the ball more round again. You can add a few more if you want, but I just did two.
Next wrap one of these super cute Monster Masks around the ball, wrap with the white streamers and glue. You're almost done, and the kiddo's that open these are going to be so excited!
The last thing to wrap the whole thing in is one of these Color your Own Small Halloween Tote Bags. I love to add a bag as the last step to give the ball shape and to have something to put all the things in.
Now let's make it a mummy! This is super easy. Just wrap with Black Paper Streamers where you want the eyes to be.
Glue a couple of Giant Black Googly Eyes on the black strip, and then wrap a little more white paper around the ball, and part of the black strip and glue. I like to leave a little bit of streamer undone at the end to show the mummy coming unwrapped. :)
Next cut out one of the Mummy Printable Gift Tags and secure it by using a piece of black Baker's Twine tied around the mummy surprise ball. Download the Free Mummy Surprise Ball Printable here!
Now it's ready to give to your favorite little monsters! This would be a fun party favor at a Halloween bash, or use at a classroom party and let the kids unwrap until they get to a gift, and then pass it on!
