Crayola Globbles Sticky Squish Balls
Crayola · Ages 4 and up (Crayola) · 3-, 6- and 16-count packs
What they do: stick, stack, squish, sling
- Stick: toss one at a wall or the ceiling and it holds, then drops back down.
- Stack: the tacky surface lets kids build small towers.
- Squish: each ball is a soft squeeze toy, so it doubles as a stress ball.
- Sling: throwing them is half the fun, so set indoor rules early.
Crayola says Globbles don’t leave a sticky residue behind.
Which pack to buy
- 6-count: $11.99, sold by Amazon.com, about $2.00 per ball. The stocking-stuffer size for one child.
- 16-count: $19.27, sold by Amazon.com, about $1.20 per ball. The better buy for siblings, party favors or a classroom.
- 3-count: Crayola also sells a 3-pack, a small add-on for a stocking or goody bag.
Parent Reality Check
- Ages: Crayola grades Globbles for ages 4 and up. The Amazon listings warn: “CHOKING HAZARD -- This toy is a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.” Keep them away from younger siblings.
- Cleaning: they pick up lint, dust and pet hair. Crayola says washing with soap and water restores the stick.
- Heat: the Amazon listings say not to heat or microwave them.
Pros
