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.)

First of all, my 22 month old loves this toy. We don't actually own it, but my sister does for her 18 month old (he was 14 months when item was purchased). This is the first toy my son heads for when we visit, and is a front runner for keeping his attention. After showing my son how to work the toy, he was able to play with it on his own and I didn't have to sit there to help.
Here are some points you might keep in mind before your purchase: 1) The balls are colorful, so you can use this toy to help teach colors while keeping it fun and entertaining. 2) My son tries to pick-up the toy holding on to the middle part of the ramp, which pulls the ramp out of alignment. When this happens, I have to fix it for him (it's easy to fix). 3) My son likes to feel the air blowing out, so this could be a safety hazard if the ball popped out and hit him in the eye or something. Usually he puts his hand or lets his hair blow over the air hole. To date, we have not had any accidents as a result of this toy. 4) It could be easy to lose the balls, but we have not had any problems keeping track of them. 5) The toy is VERY loud. If you are one of those parents that hates the noise, don't buy this item. It does NOT have a volume control on it - the toy is either on or off. 6) This toy teaches them cause & effect. Put ball on ramp, and the ball goes down ramp. The ball then pops back out, so they can do it again. 7) Helps with motor skills. It teaches child how to fit/place ball in the hole and push button to start the balls popping.

I was so excited to get this for my daughter, especially after reading all the positive reviews. I returned it the next day because after several attempts to get her to like this, she was actually quite terrified of it! It makes a sound similar to a hair dryer on a low-med setting + loud music. I know every child is unique, but keep in mind if your baby is scared of loud sounds, this may not for them!

I really thought my 1 year old would like this toy but the music and the fan are really loud. The balls fly out of the toy too hard, over my son's head and since we have hardwood floors they then roll everywhere, usually under the furniture. My son mostly likes to feel the air on his hands and to drop the balls into the popper when it is turned off so he can see them roll down the slide. I wish we could return it but it was a gift.

Our 14 month old grand daughher screamed for joy at this toy. She and her 4 1/2 brother played it for a solid 20 minutes or so...
A lot of fun.

I bought this toy for my son. I have seen/used older models in my profession. He really liked the toy from beginning at 6 months he found what it did very funny. Right around 10 months he learned how to put the balls back in and the toy became a big hit. Its the toy that keeps him occupied the most. I am a speech and language pathologist and I did not find the toy too loud. However, some poeople say that its music is 90DB that is pretty high.
