Playskool Explore N?grow Busy Ball Popper

We bought the PlaySkool ball popper on clearance at WalMart after Christmas and kept it in our closet until my son's birthday (6 months later). Put brand new batteries in it and it didn't work!! Very frustrated. Would've never assumed it wouldn't work after being in our closet since it had never been opened or used before. Bummer.

I knew my son would love this and I was right. It is very engaging and works very well. The balls always pop out and never get stuck, even when my son puts them down where they are supposed to pop out of. My only issue is that it is quite loud and has no volume control. When you have a bunch of toys that make all sorts of sounds and music, this kind of matters. Other than that, it is absolutely wonderful.

I first received this as a gift for my two year old son. In the process of showing my son how to put the balls back in, my four year old began playing with it. Shortly thereafter, my six year old nephew began to play with it. They all loved it so much that they wanted one for thier birthday. I purchased this one for my soon to be two year old neice.

My son got this for Christmas 08' and he STILL plays with it. He's put it through a lot of abuse and it's still working!! He's put everything from coins to cars in the motor area, but it always works after we've removed them! :) My 1 yr old niece came over, and she loved it, so I bought her one for Christmas. Great toy that is durable!! :) I recommend it for any boy or girl!!!

I purchased the Explore 'N Grow Busy Ball Popper for my granddaughter's first birthday, and it's the perfect toy for her! After my 6 year-old grandson showed her , she quickly learned to press the big button to start, then put the colored balls on the winding track, & watch the air pop them out! Both the kids have a blast with it! Great learning toy for a 1 year old.
