Cranium Super Sportstation

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson. He loves sports and balls and thought this would be something he could set up in the house and throw a ball and have the net be a backstop. We like how easy it is to set up although we would like to have more than 3 stiff noodles. The biggest disappointment was the net. The holes are too big and the ball goes right through defeating our whole purpose in buying it for him. Why have a net if it doesn't stop the ball.

We requested and received this as a gift for my son's 4th birthday. Unfortunately it's a big disappointment and a bit of a frustrating toy for him (and me!). The connecting pieces are essentially pool noodles with hard ends that have magnets. They are sturdy enough, but when you construct a game setup (according to the encosed directions) the whole setup is very floppy and it falls over before they can even play the game. The basketball game pictured is a perfect example - it flops from side to side - maybe the magnets aren't strong enough or the noodles need to be stiffer? Not sure, but basically this toy stays in a closet at our house. Occasionally my son sees it and drags it out, but after creating one design, he loses interest and back it goes... Also, a magnet on one of the noodles came off - not good! Don't bother with this toy - too frustrating!
