Playskool Busy Ball-Tivity Center

So much to do in this musical "air-tivity" activity center! Tots will have a ball stacking and learning how to "put and take." The center includes three jungle stackers that stack on the table or on each other. Kids will be delighted as they watch each stacker magically come to life when powered by air. The center also houses a swirling ball pool and live "ball-cano" to encourage put-and-take play. A peek-a-boo monkey hiding in the palm tree adds to the jungle surprises and fun. Great for hands-on exploration and discovery. Requires four "D" batteries, not included. Measures 14"L x 18"W x 6.75"H.

Hours of Interactive Fun
The Ball-Tivity features cute jungle animals and a ladybug that entice little fingers to grasp and explore. Mom or baby can press down on the ladybug to start the action and keep things moving. As the air starts to flow, lively music plays and animal sounds seem to bring this activity set to life. Parts appear to magically move, making this exotic adventure pure delight for a curious child.

Stimulates the Senses and Encourages Healthy Development
The Ball-Tivity engages all of baby's senses, and encourages hand-eye coordination while introducing your child to the relationship between cause and effect. Colored balls swirl around the pool, inviting little hands to reach in and pull them out, then drop them back in to watch them swirl around and around again. You or baby can also place a ball on top of the volcano and see it hover. Stackable palm tree, elephant and alligator pieces all spin, twirl and chomp when placed on their separate ports, or they can be stacked for a different perspective.

The Ball-Tivity Center requires four "D" batteries (not included), and comes with monkey and palm tree snap-in pieces, three balls, three stacking pieces, and instructions. For your child's safety, all plastic fasteners should be removed and discarded before play.

All three of my kids are fascinated this toy. They are 7(boy), 2(girl), and 8 months (girl). Cute little tunes, fun spinning toys and balls, and blowing air make this toy a kid magnet. I have to admit I find it fun, too.

The balls and other parts come off and get lost very easily. That is my complaint about this toy. My daughter likes the music. I paid $12.99 for it on sale, and I really wouldn't want to pay any more than that. My kids love the baby singing stage toy. I would recommend that. No pieces to get lost.

I bought this for my 1 year old grandson for Christmas and he just loved it. It kept his attention for quite some time. I only have two negative comments. The animals fall over too easy, they should stay put and it needs a volume control. It is quite loud.

I wasn't planning on buying this toy, but the deal through Amazon was pretty good, so it became kind of a last minute gift for our 1 year old son. Since he opened it on Christmas day, both our 1 year old son and 4 year old daughter have fought over this thing. They both love playing with it. There aren't 101 different things this toy can do, but it is just an entertaining toy. I can honestly say they both play with it at least once every day. I definitely recommend it for the 1-3 year old range.

I bought this toy for my one year old son for his birthday. He enjoys playing with the balls (mostly outside of the toy), and he seems fascinated by the twirling tree. Other than that, he does not really play with it that often anymore. It lasts about 10 minutes and then all the parts end up scattered around the room.
