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.)







Enjoyable but loud2010-07-263 / 5
My son loves this toy but we can't wait for something to finally get stuck in it or for the batteries to wear out because it doesn't matter how loud you turn up the TV nothing can be heard over the music.
Keeps them busy but it's loud2010-07-255 / 5
My son (and his daddy) love playing with this toy. It keeps him occupied for at least 30 minutes often longer. He can play with it all alone or with groups of kids and it keeps them all moving and happy. We have the latest version (2009-2010) and it is a very loud toy. I wish it had a volume control. Sometimes we hide it in a closet so my son won't play with it. (My hubby works from home and it can be heard in his office when we are in the family room.) My son is currently 14 months old and he got it for his first b-day. If he sees it in the room that's what he wants to play with!
Wonderful toy to spark you childs imagination2010-07-255 / 5
This toy is amazing! My son is 1 year and a couple months old he loves this toy he learned how to use it almost immediately. He not only loves to play with it the way your supposed to but he also really likes to just dance to the little songs it plays he will just press the button over and over to dance to the music. He loves to watch through the clear plastic as the balls fly through the tube. I thought he would get tired of that after a while but he plays with it in many ways like putting one ball in the top track another in the bottom and other combinations or letting them shoot out onto the floor and chasing them. The toy is also very durable he has several times decided to pick it up and walk with it only to drop it pretty hard on the floor but it has remained functional and in one piece. the batteries have lasted several weeks as well (not included be sure to buy some). Again this is a great toy your child will love it!


One side note my son LOVES to play with containers like boxes and jars so he ofcourse started to put "foreign objects" into this toy like brushes combs keys small toys a spork markers crayons and then press the button to see what happens....doing this has not caused any damage to the blower fan but i do dump it out after letting him see that nothing happens. (i guess he thinks they will fly out lol) he still does this occasionally so watch for your child to do it.
Not a toy grown ups love but the little 'uns do!2010-07-175 / 5
It is loud and annoying (the music and yes, sometimes the baby as he feels the need to sing along with the tune)and it is annoying how in the early stages of play (battery life) the balls get spit out in every direction and it seems that Mom is spending all her time crawling around after balls. This, however, is delightful to baby. Eventually the batteries calm down and then the ball only pops out every once in a while - whew!

Be cautious - my 9 month old tried to see if OTHER balls would fit into the machinery - yes to go in, not so much to come out. We've killed/repurposed about 6 clothing hangers to get out the illegal/undocumented balls and duplos.

That said, our son is walking and that usually equates to the sitting toys as being "so yesterday" in his new all powerful toddler mind. But he still todders over and plops himself down in front of the toy and plays with it for quite a while.

We love it - gonna keep it, and found that if you attach a felt square over the speaker (the felt like you put on the bottom of a chair to stop scratching up floors) the loud annoying music becomes somewhat muffled annoying music. Much better.
Great toy for active toddler2010-07-155 / 5
I bought this toy as a Christmas present for my then 16 mos. old granddaughter. She loves it! When we get it out, she starts jumping and giggling until we turn it on. Then she races to get the balls that pop out. The music is a little loud but it is fun music. We like to clap along with the tunes. She loves to feed the balls back into toy too! I would recommend this toy 100%. My granddaughter turns 2 next month and still loves to play with it.
