LOL Big Surprise Balls are supposedly the must-have Christmas gift for every little girl over 4. Every major retailer seems to be sold out of the limited stock. A black market has even sprung up on Amazon and Ebay selling the limited edition giant toy.
But are they worth the money?
Are there a bunch of dolls inside?
Are there special LOL accessories not found anywhere else?
What is really inside this giant surprise ball hanging securely behind the checkout counter?
Costing at least as much as 6 LOL surprise baby dolls, the big lol surprise balls will either be a big hit with your little one or an expensive letdown.
Before you go out and buy the ball, check out our list of ALL 50 surprises included in the ball.
But [spoiler alert], do NOT show this list to your little girl. Knowing what’s inside the ball will ruin the surprise for her, which is part of the reason she likes LOL dolls anyway.
We’ve provided this list so that parents know what they are buying (and avoid public disappointments like this one).
LOL Big Surprise Ball Basics
- Each LOL surprise ball comes with 50 surprises, not 50 dolls.
- Each “ball” has 1 flat side, so it’s really only half a ball.
- There are 3 layers inside each ball.
LOL Big Surprise Ball Layer 1
There are 10 different accessories hiding inside 10 little balls in layer 1: 3 pairs of shoes, 1 small accessory (like a necklace), 3 bottoms (shorts or skirts), and 3 tops (jackets, shirts, vests, or dresses). Twenty-seven (27) different outfits can be created by mixing and matching the tops, bottoms, and shoes.
TIP: Make each layer a fun game for your little one! Accessories provide clues to the dolls inside the surprise ball. Try to get your little one to guess which dolls she is going to get by matching the accessories to the dolls on the collector’s poster. At the end, she’ll find out if she was right!
LOL Big Surprise Ball Layer 2
Layer 2 includes 5 charm fizz surprise bath bombs, each with 3 surprises. Inside each charm fizz ball you’ll find a collectible charm sticker, a ring tattoo, and a charm (like a little polaroid camera or pizza slice). Charms can be used with dolls, put on a bracelet, or hung from a backpack.
TIP: Don’t just dip the charm fizz bombs in water! These are bath bombs! Let your little one dissolve the bombs in water during her bath time.
LOL Big Surprise Ball Layer 3
Now this is what your little one has been waiting for! Layer 3 contains 2 LOL surprise tot toys and 2 Lil sister balls. So, inside layer 3 you will find 2 large balls and 2 small balls.
Each large ball contains the 7 items found in lol big sister toys: secret message, collectible sticker, bottle, shoes, outfit, accessory, and a big sister tot doll.
Each small ball contains the 5 items for in lol lil sister toys: secret message, collectible sticker, small accessory, large accessory, and lil sister doll.
Using the dolls and all the accessories included in the ball, you should be able to make more than 1,000 outfit combinations!
TIP: Have your little one guess try to guess the secret message. We know the answer is right there but…no peeking!

Keep This In Mind

Can’t Find an LOL Surprise Ball?
Since the surprise ball is the go to gift right now, you may not be able to find any to buy. They are limited edition after all.
Our recommendation is instead of buying the surprise ball, buy 4 LOL dolls and this wonderful dollhouse from Melissa & Doug.
Not only will your little one still enjoy the unboxing experience and get great LOL dolls, she’ll also have a doll house that she can use long after she’s no longer into the dolls. Besides, this combination might even save you a bit of money.
