handspun red apple back to school surprise ball

A surprise ball is a tightly wound ball of crepe paper ribbons that, when unraveled, reveals tiny gifts, toys, and keepsakes. Originally a popular toy in the 1950s. Unwinding a Surprise Ball is memorable fun for both adults and kids.

Red apple back-to-school surprise ball is a fun gift for teachers and students. Unwrapping the layers of the crepe paper apple reveals a quirky nose pencil sharpener, a mini foam finger (for that 1st day’s picture), an unusual popcorn pencil topper/eraser, a silly retractable bowling pin pen, and a smiley face pin (perfect for backpacks). The colors of the items will vary so that every surprise ball is different (that’s what makes them so fun).

Surprise balls are rolled up by hand and contain small parts. What's inside: 5 fun prizes. Ball is approximately 4” in diameter.  Suitable for ages 3+. Handmade in the USA.
