a big HIT October 19, 2008
I was given this for my son's 1 year birthday. He is now 3. I also have a 15 month old. Both love it. I think the 15 month old more so, though he won't let my 3 year old get near it. I would have to say that my 15 month old could have one toy only (this one!) and he would be happy since from wake-up time he goes directly for this and until I have to DRAG him away from this. Not much educational value except maybe telling the colors. And now my problem is....where can I get replacement balls because after overy 2 years... I have lost a couple of them. I have given this as gifts to several friends since I know it is a hit.
Very Fun Toy October 18, 2008
My kids love this toy. My 18m - 4 year old really like hitting the button and running after the balls. It does consume quite a bit of their time..However the "D" sized batteries drain too quickly making this an expensive toy to operate. Also we keep losing the balls and you have to have 2 or maybe it's 3 for the toy to keep pushing balls up.
 best toy ever! October 16, 2008
my toddler and all his friends use this toy constantly. They take feathers from a boa and watch the feathers fly around, besides just the balls. The only drawback is that things can get stuck in there and it may take a while to get out - but it's a very well loved toy.
 I don't understand?!? October 13, 2008

Well...I almost don't know what to say. This toy gets pretty solid reviews, which I rely on when I am purchasing. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. This was purchased for the one year old for his birthday, with the thought, as we do with many purchases, that both would enjoy it on some level. The first one did not work at all, fan was broken. Second one works ok, but many times the fan is not strong enough and the balls get stalled blowing only at the height of the opening they are supposed to come out of. But, often it works well enough that if that were the only issue, it would be a worthwhile toy. Now, that being said, I personally find the toy extremely annoying even when it is working right, because the balls do NOT stay in the toy even remotely on a regular basis, they fly out consistently and have to be out back in. Since the toy is not for me, and the kids giggle and put them back in, even that is ok, even though the balls spend a lot of time being lost. My major issue is that my 2 boys, absolutely refuse to quit putting things that do not belong in the toy down the holes the balls are supposed to go in. Though I did not read all 500 reviews, I cannot believe that I am the only parent that has had this issue. We have a bent clothes hanger that we keep on-hand just for unclogging this toy. I also consider my boys to be fairly normal, and they play with other toys just fine, they way they are supposed to be played with. As a result, this toy spends a lot of time being out of commission. Although we spend a lot of time playing with our boys and their toys, we also encourage a lot of independent playtime. When we do play together, we color or use Play Doh or play a game with rules and pieces that have to be monitored, and this toy was purchased with the thought that they would play with it on their own. The only way it functions as intended (without lost balls and clogged ducts) is if we supervise. Therefore, it does not fulfill it's purpose in our home and I would not purchase it again. I would recommend knowing what your goals are for this toy before you decide to buy it.
Great Entertainment October 12, 2008
My son played with this for a long time so we decided to give it as a gift for a 1yr old.
