Playskool Activity Ball Popper

Advantages: Bright colours, fun for adults and kids, batteries seem to last a while
Disadvantages: balls easily lost

Wow!! This toy is so much fun!! This toy was bought for Sophia for Xmas by her Nana. At that time, she was 8 months old and as this toy is designed for babies 9 months plus, she was slightly too young for it, however, great fun was had by her Mummy and Daddy instead. This toy sells for around £19.99 and we got it from Argos, although I am sure it can be bought from all major toy stores as it is made by Playskool! The ball popper comes in a bright ...
...it. Dont worry, you dont have to be a flat pack queen, this is just a matter of slotting two pieces of plastic together to make the winding slope. The item requires 4 size D batteries which are installed at the back of the ball popper. There is a tiny screw, as is always the case with toys of this kind and then your away. There is also a small on/off switch at the back too. The machine is operated with a big plunger type button at the back, that ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to operate and great fun!
Disadvantages: Only disadvantage I can think of is it requires batteries.

...4 for £3.99. The Playskool Ball Popper only requires minimal assembly and is basically a chute contraption - the brightly coloured balls roll down the chute into the clear tube and are then whooshed up by gusts of air out of the top of the tube and back down the chute again. It's a sturdy enough toy which will withstand a fair amount of punishment I think. It's certainly been bashed about a fair bit so far and shows no ill-effects! The start mechanism ...
...ones to press and one of the good things about this toy is that it only operates for short bursts - about a minute at a time - before switching itself off so at least the batteries don't get run down unnecessarily. As the balls are rolling round it plays a variety of tunes which in themselves are fairly entertaining and include Pop Goes The Weasel, Flight Of The Bumble Bee, Rocking Robin and Nice One Cyril! From time to time one or two balls shoot ... Read review

Advantages: Is funny to watch, makes children (and adults) laugh out loud
Disadvantages: batteries required!

...Being made by Playskool it is made from tough quality plastic, and is easy to understand and manipulate by little people. I have only seen this advertised once on television, and is available in the Argos catalogue, possibly in major toy stores but I haven’t really been looking. It costs £19.99 and well worth every penny!!! ... Read review

Disadvantages: limited play value

PRICE:£19.99 AVAILABILTY: All good toy shops DURABILITY:8/10 PLAYABILITY:7/10 VALUE FOR MONEY:8/10 Brightly coloured plastic battery taking noisy toy. Just the sort of toy i always vow not to buy but end up getting anyway. I am for a change pleased I did. We just popped in the batteries pushed the plunger and away it went. It has 5 balls that a stream of air pushes around the unit till they hover for a few seconds above then roll back round ...
...year old love to watch it go round. You geussed it they love to grab the baals too. My 5 year old was quite intrested in trying to figure out how it works and trying to shove other objects inside to see if they would float. On the downside its really noisey and eats batteries at an alarming rate. Also my 1 year old managed to get his hand stuck down the tube. Still all in all a hit with younger children up to about 30 months. ... Read review
