My son got this for a xmas present last year when he was about 7 months old. At first he just loved to watch the balls pop around but he soon figured out how to do it himself...and he hasn't stopped! It's been almost a year of regular use and he still hasn't gotten tired of it. This is probably one of the toys that has gotten the most use.

My kids, ages 10, 7 and 1 ALL LOVE this toy. It can entertain them like no other toy can!

This has been my son's FAVORITE toy!!! I can't say enough good things about it, because he has soooooo much fun knocking the balls around in this toy. There is a negative, though. He crams other toys down into the holes. The other toys get lodged, and we have to take the entire game apart (with a screwdriver) to get the stuff out. Even with that, I would scream for you to buy it! It's so funny to watch how excited he gets when he plays with this toy! He was 1 year old when he got it, and he's still going strong at nearly 2 years old!!!

Santa brought this last year for Christmas.... our 9 mo old loved it, but it was our then 3 yr old who couldnt put it away. I found myself playing with the girls trying to catch the balls. We lost 2 of our balls which made it not work as well, but after a quick call to Hasbro we had more balls on its way for [...] and she waived the shipping.

A year later and this toy is still played with frequently. Our 9 mo old has quit putting everything down the tube, and now really enjoys it.

The music is loud but that was easily solved with some scotch tape over the sound holes. Definately buy this - its worth it. We have invented games too for our now 4 yr old.... like only grab the blue ball.... and how many times will the yellow ball pop out before the song ends....

This is a very fun toy! But there are a few problems with it.

First of all I don't think it comes with enough balls.

Second of all, My kids constantly are trying to put other things down the tube and their other toys like blocks etc... get stuck down there and it's almost imposible to get them out.
It would be better if there was some way it unsnapped apart so you could get things out of it that got stuck.
