The Playskool Busy Ball Popper is a great musical toy for your child. It helps build your child’s hand-eye coordination and is just plain fun!
Press down on the red plunger and let the fun begin! Once air from the fan starts flowing, the balls begin popping out of the chute. They land in the yellow piece and fall onto the orange track, back into the chute again. What makes this even more exciting for your child is that sometimes the air pressure behind the balls become so great that they fly all over the place! You child will laugh as s/he chases them around the room and places them back into the chute. When the Ball Popper is activated by pushing the plunger, it plays music and makes fun popping sounds.
As a parent I realize that a noisy toy can get a bit annoying after hearing the same songs and sounds over and over again, especially if you accidentally set it off numerous times while trying to put it in a toy box like I often have. If you turn the Ball Popper around to the back, there is a black On/Off switch in the bottom left corner. From one parent to another, I hope that saves you many headaches.
The Playskool Busy Ball Popper is recommended for ages 9 months and up.
The Busy Ball Popper has a retail value of approximately $20 and is available for purchase from Playskool or at any other retailer that sells children’s toys.
Note: As with many other toys, you should supervise your child while s/he plays with this toy. My daughter has a habit of sticking her hand and arm down the tube to try and pull the balls out when it is not turned on, so my husband and I have to watch her to make sure she does not get stuck. We also like to help show her the proper way to play with the Ball Popper, like making sure she does not put other toys into the chute.
