I've gotten this toy for so many people and everytime, I just hear how much the kids love this toy. I'm not sure how much educational value it provides but the kids seem to really love it. They love the music and watching the balls pop up out of the tube. Keeps them entertained and they seem to keep going back to the toy. It doesn't look like much, but it really seems to keep the younger kids entertained. I'd say it's good for 12-18months old, cuz they can go after the ball.

My son loves this and plays with it all the time! We use it to work on colors as well as have fun! The music is a little loud, but we keep it in his room so not to bother anyone else! LOVE IT!

If you're looking to purchase a scary toy that makes vacuum cleaner sucking sounds and plays the most annoying "arcade like" music, then this is for you. We received this as a gift for my son's first birthday - he was honestly scared of this toy for about 2-3 weeks (I think it was the horrible and loud vacuum cleaner sound it makes when you turn it on). I don't see any educational value from this toy and after 2-3 weeks of trying it out, we were all relieved when we decided to retire this to the basement.

This toy is incredibly annoying. It plays awful music/sounds and the balls don't stay in the track - they fly all over the place and you are constantly rounding them up to put them back in the machine. I will admit that I didn't read the description well enough before ordering or I would seen that it was accompanied by music. I'm not sure I wouldn't have bought it so I offer this review to warn others. Heed this review and the earlier one -- this toy will test your sanity!

I thought it seemed like a good gift, had difficulty getting it to work upon assembling it and putting in batteries.

Our grand daughter loves this toy, the 'action' and brightly colored balls hold her attention for a long time.

My daughter got this toy for Christmas and generally it's a lot of fun for her. She likes the music and the balls popping up, even my husband gets in on the playing action but I hate the fact that the balls go flying all over the place and I am forever hunting them down. It's not a toy that my daughter can play with while I cook dinner because the balls go everywhere and then the "magic" is gone. Also, we sometimes have the balls going back up the ramp instead of out the top. I'm not sure I would buy it for someone else given the balls going everywhere.

I got this for my one year old daughter. She enjoys playing with it as do her two older brothers. She laughs when the balls pop up and likes getting blown by the breeze.

I got this for CHristmas for my 12 month old and she loved it, we played for hours with this very fun toy.

I purchased this for my 7 month old for Christmas. The next morning she got to play with it for the first time and was hooked! The hum of the vaccum is a little louder than I expected, but not terribly loud at all. My daughter sit up longer than she ever had before while she and I played with this. She loved the surprise of the balls popping out of the top. If I had to knock this down at all, it would be for the fact that not all the balls land in the top. I'm constantly stretching here and there to grab balls before they roll too far. But hey, my daughter loves it so that's all that really matters to me.

The Playskool Ball-Tivity toy is wonderful for infants. As they learn how to turn it on and make the various moving parts "perform" for them they increase their dexterity. They dance to the music and I think they feel powerful as they understand that THEY made the toy move and make sounds. I highly recommend this toy for babies just starting to crawl and get around.

I bought this toy when my son was 1. He enjoyes playing with the balls and watching them go around. Other than that, the other pieces are hard to put on for a toddler, although he likes taking them off.

I saw this on the internet and thought it would be fun for my 9 mos old grandson. Have to return the first one because it did not work at all. Waited a l o n g time for the 2nd one just hours before Christmas but... my grandson loved it. Simple but fascinating, even the 3 yr old liked it. I just wish the starting switch didn't need to be so tricky to work. I guess the idea was for the baby to activate it by pressing down on the red mushroom.Who knew? The spinning time could be much longer than it is before you must re- activate it.

I got this toy for my son when he was about 7 months old. When I pulled it out of the box I thought it looked like a piece of junk and a waste of money. The pieces all kept falling off, the music was annoying and it just looked like a loser toy. However, right from the start it was my sons favorite toy! He can sit there or stand there for ages, bouncing up and down, smiling and laughing. Even now, 5 months later he still loves it. Probably the best buy we have made, although I still think it's dumb!

I bought this as a gift for my nephew and he loves that you can stack the items
