Surprise balls are an awesome way to gift treats to little ones — because the excitement of unwrapping them is half the fun!  Just wrap a few spooky toys, like these monster finger puppetstemporary tattoos, and chattering teeth, in crepe paper streamers until you’ve got a tidy ball. Add cardstock features for detail, and you’re ready to roll! As the kids unravel the ball, they’ll find all the little trinkets hidden within the layers.
