Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

I purchased this last Christmas for my daughter. After 5 months, she is still having a ball with it (no pun intended). I have also bought it for my friend's children because I am so impressed with the fun and learning value of it. Highly recommend :) You won't be disappointed...unless you hate somewhat noisy toys ;)

I'm not sure who likes this toy more...our son or us, his parents. We just love turning this on and letting it pop all over the place. It keeps us all busy for quite a while. My son enjoys it a lot and is only 10mo old. He puts the balls back and pushes the button to start it up....we just have to fetch the balls when they spew all around the living room!

I hate this toy, it's plastic and loud and I don't think it offers the motor skills value of some other toys like the ball pounder. However, it's been one of the most popular toys we've owned. My daughter and all her friends LOVE this toy, and have been playing with it since she was a new cruiser to now, as a 3+ yo. This is sure to be a popular gift for any toddler.

This toy has been around our home for at least a year and it's still being played with! And most parents know that children attention span as it relates to toys is short! My 5 & 10 year old love helping my infant put the balls in and watch them pop out (I admit, I do too). The music is whimsical and catchy. The only down side is that when the balls gain momentum, they pop out all over the place. And if you have a tiny one that can't retrieve the balls, you'll have to do the footwork. It wont last long though, soon your little one will be chasing all the balls and having a good time!

The toy does not work as advertised. The balls go all over the room and must be collected every single time. The balls do not even begin to "launch" on ours unless all 5 are loaded. If less than 5, the balls just stay in the tube.
