Key Features

• 16-piece assortment: Includes four designs of foam balls with four of each design so there are enough for small classroom events or multiple goody bags.

• Soft foam material: The balls are made from non-toxic foam that feels soft to squeeze, making them useful as small stress or sensory toys.
• Kid-friendly size: At roughly 2 to 3 in diameter, the mini balls fit comfortably in young hands and are easy to include in valentine cards and treasure boxes.
• Sport-themed designs: Variety includes basketball, football, rugby and baseball motifs that suit sports-themed parties and classroom interests.
