Product Description Get ready for some poppin', droppin', air-powered fun. Drop the five colorful balls onto the track. Watch them pop out of the top, roll down, then pop out all over again. Sometimes the balls spill over for even more interactive, put-and-take play. Silly sound effects and eight upbeat tunes accompany the animated action. This toy provides one "air-mazing" experience for your little one. Measures 18" x 7" x 13". Requires 4 "D" batteries (not included).
Even the cat loves itOctober 1, 2008 My three (now four year old) still loves this toy as does my 18 month old AND the cat. I only wish it had more balls - I am missing about three right now since the balls do fly everywhere (helped by the cat I am sure).
A good workout for mom as I go chasing balls around the houseSeptember 30, 2008 This is a cute toy and when the balls pop up and actually land back in the yellow dish, it's a lot of fun. My 9 month old giggles at it, even though he doesn't get what to do with it really.
My big beef with it is that the balls rarely go back in the toy, they usually pop up and fly across the room. I spent the good part of the first hour with this toy just chasing balls down in the hardest to reach parts of my house (the balls must have some sort of sensor that attracts them to the furthest corner under the couch).
Since the balls are never near the toy, the kid doesn't get to play with them much. It's a good work out for me though.
It's also really annoyingly loud and obnoxious in the sound effects department.
Fun, but watch out for battery use!September 30, 2008 This toy is great fun for my 11-month-old. He was a little frightened of the balls popping out at first, but now loves to gather up the balls that scatter everywhere and put them in the funnel. My only complaint is that it uses up the batteries quickly. It will still run on weakened batteries, but doesn't have enough "oomph" to push the balls through the system, so the parent ends up forcing them through. But when functioning at full power, my son LOVES this!
Busy Ball PopperSeptember 27, 2008 My one year old granddaughter loves this toy and her 4 year old sister enjoys it too. A giggle producer!
Liesy's momSeptember 20, 2008 My daughter (she's almost 2) and her cousins (boys aged 4 and 7) really love this toy! The problem is the music is really loud and annoying and the balls keep flying everywhere and you have to retrieve them! Of course the toy would probably work correctly if the little ones didn't keep trying to push the balls back in while they are still popping out. Overall, this is a great toy to keep the kids occupied with, but the music would drive any sane person crazy after 30 minutes :) Not too sure what sort of educational value this toy has and I think it's more age appropriate for younger kids.
