DD3 is Peppa Pig mad. Has been for a full year now (and recites all the books by heart 🙈). For Christmas, she wants a peppa pig ball… not a ball with peppa on it, she wants the same ball that Peppa has. She also seems unlikely to drop the idea, and is determined that’s what Santa will bring her…

Help!!! There are hundreds of balls with peppa on. But I can’t find a single one that’s white with coloured spots like the ‘real’ one. Has anyone ever come across one? Any ideas how Santa can deliver?

Pic added for reference… and thank you to any and all ideas. She’s given me notice at least!

I was going to suggest what someone suggested earlier, buy a plain white plastic ball and cut some stickers out of sticky backed plastic,

Whatever you decide to go for, please post a photo so that we can all admire your creative talent.

Ikea fabric football with new colour circles sewn over the black patches might work.

A pack of permanent colour sharpies would probably work as I guess she won’t be using it that much

what about this? It’s a beachball and not quite the same design. Been looking for 30 mins and I’m struggling. Really hope you find something, sounds like it’s an important gift for her :)

I'd suggest Posca pens and put colors on a white ball

i know you can’t kick it but if it was me i’d be going for something like that then making a big deal of the light up (i know peppas doesn’t) because it’s a “special real one” made just for her!

Polka dotted playground balls on ebay if that works

OhOhOhOhItsAlright · 14/11/2025 20:33

Temu sell a 2 pack of white beach balls, one of which is football size, then you could just use sharpies to colour the spots on.

Isn’t it great when children ask for these simple gifts that turn out to be a nightmare for us. 😂 We had a few similar requests when our children were younger so you have my sympathies. I’m sure she’ll love it however you make it happen for her.

How about these stuck on a white ball.
If the size is wrong I searched "Vinyl circle stickers" and there are other sizes.

Posca pens would be best if you can find a white ball

sparkysalmon · 15/11/2025 10:34

Fabric paint on the white foam ball might work.
Softball, volley ball and handball searches find some white balls, but more expensive - the printed text might rub off with isopropanol alcohol or a gentle sand paper rub to get a blank ball for painting the colour dots on.

I reckon this is the one the OPs daughter would want out of all the suggested ones.

In the picture OP has posted it doesn't strike me as a football - more like a beach ball (although the scale of the racquets puts everything out of perspective...)

OP, where's your picture from? A tv episode or a book? What is Peppa doing with the ball in this picture/episode? This is what your daughter also wants to be able to do with it!

Thereislightattheendofthetunnel · 15/11/2025 22:52

I would buy a plain plastic rubber ball and use Posca pens ( they are matte and coverage is gteat) to match the coloured spots. Poscas are acrylic markers but they are permanent

GriseldaClement · 15/11/2025 23:39

How about these? Fabric ball so easier on the potential breakages!
