Discover why the sensory balloon ball is so popular

What is a balloon ball?

A balloon balloon is a fabric cover you put a balloon in before inflating it. This soft layer makes your balloon last for weeks.

The sensory balloon ball transforms a simple balloon into a soft, colorful ball that is perfect for indoors and great for developing your child's motor skills.

Why a balloon with a cover is better than a regular balloon

Balloons in their sleeves last an average of 2-4 weeks with normal use. A regular balloon? It usually doesn't last a day with us. The fabric protects the balloon. If it does burst, the sound is much softer, and the small balloon pieces stay in the sleeve.

Learn to throw a balloon ball

A balloon moves slower than a regular ball. This is great for young children who are still learning to throw and catch. They have more time to follow the ball with their eyes and position their hands correctly. It encourages hand-eye coordination in a playful way.

Sensory toys with different textures

Our balloons are made from 7 different fabrics, from super-soft ribbed to smooth cotton. Each piece feels slightly different. Playing with the sensory balloon stimulates the senses. This makes it not only fun to throw, but also fun to feel and explore. The perfect sensory toy.

How do you use a balloon cover?

It's very simple:

  • Place the balloon in the sleeve (do not inflate it yet!)
  • Keep the mouthpiece out of the opening
  • Inflate the balloon until the cover is nice and tight. (Don't overinflate it.)
  • Tie a knot and tuck the end of the balloon under the fabric.
  • Ready for weeks of fun!

If the balloon eventually bursts, remove it and replace it with a new one. You can continue to use the cover and wash it at 30 degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Sensory Balloon Ball

How long does the balloon stay inflated?

The cover prevents the balloon from deflating as quickly as a balloon without a cover. The balloon stays inflated for 2-4 weeks.

This depends on the heat in the house and whether the balloon is on the underfloor heating.

From what age is the sensory balloon suitable?

From about 1 year old, under adult supervision. Young children can roll, feel, and throw it.

What makes this balloon ball different from a regular balloon?

The cover makes the balloon last longer, feel softer, and doesn't burst as easily. And of course, it looks much nicer. Because we use different fabrics, it's also a fun sensory toy.

Which balloon can fit in the balloon ball?

We supply the sensory balloon with one 30cm round balloon . This balloon is made of natural rubber and is therefore 100% biodegradable.

In principle any balloon will fit, but this may change the shape of the balloon ball.

What if the balloon bursts?

Don't panic, the sound is quieter and the balloon pieces stay in the sleeve. You can insert your fingers into the opening and remove the burst balloon. Insert a new balloon and inflate it. Then your child can continue playing.

Is the balloon also suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely! Feel free to take it outside or on vacation. If the cover gets dirty, simply wash it.

Take the cover and an empty balloon with you on holiday for a holiday full of fun.
