Jack-o’-lantern sensory balls

These play dough-filled sensory balls are inexpensive and easy to make. The great thing about this craft is that once you are done making your sensory balls, children can have fun playing with their creations.

Step One

Stretch and hold a balloon open. Have a child stuff it with play dough until it is nice and round. Tie a knot at the top of the balloon. If you wish, stretch a second balloon over the first one to make your sensory ball more durable.

Step Two

Now for the fun part! Using the marker, draw a fun Halloween face on your sensory ball.

Sensory balls are fun to have around the house. I was surprised how often I saw my kids playing with these little guys. They would be a great addition to a calm down bag or they could be left in your vehicle for long car rides.

Hi my name is Kyla and I am the owner of MyFUNvelope. I have six wonderful children who keep me busy and love to craft and discover just like their mom!

MyFUNvelope is a Canadian craft subscription box delivering fun to children ages 3-9. Our mission is to provide an affordable craft subscription that inspires children and keeps them interested and engaged. Each month, we deliver a themed craft kit right to your door. Each Myfunvelope contains 4 crafts or activities, one STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activity to promote hands-on learning, a learn-to-draw card, and a paper craft. Markers, scissors, and glue dots are also provided.

MyFUNvelope was created by a busy mom for busy moms! We aim to create kits that are fun for kids and stress-free for moms with little mess. I promise no glitter!!! We also send glue dots instead of glue to make it easier for smaller children to craft independently.

We are passionate about our company and its mission. We would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have for us.
