The Playskool Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper is a great put-and-take adventure for your infant or toddler. Designed for children ages nine months and up, the Busy Ball Popper will have your child popping the bright, colorful balls into a fun frenzy as they are air-popped out of the lower tube. The ball spinner/popper provides a fun sensorial experience, and includes fun, upbeat music to match the bright colorful characters. 
Watch the fan pop the colorful balls into the air! View larger. |
Colorful Balls that Spin and Pop in the Air
The Busy Ball Popper is a one-piece toy that's made up of a removable ball trough, tube, and tray. When your child presses down on the big-eyed mushroom character on the Ball Popper, the balls move up the tube and pop out of the top, falling back into the tray to start the process all over again. The popper is made to withstand the rigors of your infant's play and can be easily cleaned with a damp towel. The plastic balls are large enough that you will not have to worry about them as choking hazards, but when your child is popping the balls, make sure to keep an eye out for balls as they can go off of the track occasionally. The popper also includes eight lively songs that start once you have pumped down the plunger to activate the ball-popping fan. Keep in mind that although the Busy Ball Popper is made out of a strong, durable plastic, it is fairly heavy and should be kept on a flat surface while being played to avoid any damage to your furniture. The toy also shuts itself off after a short period of time, but it is recommended to always turn it off manually for battery conservation. Great Sensorial, Put-and-take Work For Your Child
This ball popper is a great toy for infants gaining gross motor skills, or for toddlers who are ready to chase the balls around the house and dance to the upbeat music. It is visually appealing with its bright, colorful balls and characters, and you never know where the balls may land, making it an exciting and new adventure each time. What's in the Box
Ball popper base, plastic ball tray and lower trough, and five plastic balls. (Batteries are not included.)

 All Four of My Boys LOVED This! October 11, 2009

First for the drawbacks; 1)It is easy to lose the balls if you don't make a point of collecting them after play and keeping them somewhere safe, 2)There is music that plays continuously while it is on, which can be annoying for some, and 3)The play cycle is rather short so you or baby must keep pressing plunger to start it again. This might be a welcome respite for those offended by #2.
BUT: All four of my boys LOVED this toy!!! A favorite, and a toy I always buy or recommend to others. Perfect for a boy or girl. My boys were enthralled by the colorful balls shooting out of the hole and amazed when they almost always went where they were supposed to, which is around the ramp and back into the receptacle. They also LOVED to feel the air blow out of the toy (the air is what pushes the ball up and out of the hole) and would often just press the plunger to feel the air on their faces, hands and in their hair. They quickly learned to start the toy themselves and would be entertained by it longer than they would be by other toys. All of my boys got this toy for their first birthdays (I am a toy manufacturers dream, I sell toys in Mom2Mom sales after on child outgrows them and then end up buying them again for subsequent kids-- can't stand clutter and feel they deserve their own stuff).
Great toy for 3 years! October 15, 2009

We purchased this toy for my daughter when she turned 1. She loved it and it provided lots of entertainment. A few months ago we brought it back out for our now 1 year old son, and he will sit for 20 minutes straight and play with it! It's the only toy he sits still to play with. My daughter, who is almost 4, is enjoying playing with her little brother with this toy too. We have never had any issues with it, and I have even had to fish numerous different toys out of it because of kids putting other things in it instead of the balls! Its great to teach cause and effect, althoguh the music at times can be annoying after hearing it for long periods of time! I would definilty recommned this toy, it has been durable and provides both my kids with enojoyment!

Our baby loves this toy!! He laughs hysterically when the balls come flying up (and sometimes out) of the popper. I imagine it will keep him entertained for a long time as he can start chasing the balls himself once he is able to move around a bit more. Definitely a cute toy and was worth the price just to see him laugh himself silly.
All 4 of my children aged 1 to 6 love the popper! November 25, 2009

There is something about this toy that keeps all my kids fascinated! It has actually been a god send for my toddler who does not like to play with anything other than pots and pans, cell phones and remotes! She will sit there and stare and play and giggle for the longest time...keep extra batteries on hand for this one!
One of the best toys we've had December 17, 2009

This toy was given to our youngest daughter around her 1st birthday and a year later she still loves it! This was one of the two best toys we received for her as an infant. She would sit for 1/2 hour at a time just to watch the balls - which is a LONG time for a 1-year old. You do have to keep going after the balls though because the popper will actually pop them up in the air and they will bounce or roll away. The balls are really lightweight plastic though, so even if your child was hit by one, it wouldn't hurt them. We have thoroughly enjoyed this toy and will definitely be buying it for friends with babies.
