The kinds folks over at Playskool were so kind and sent Peyton the Playskool Busy Ball Popper in celebration of his first birthday.  It was not only a hit with Peyton but also with his 3 year old brother and 5 year old sister.

Looks fun, huh?  The Playskool Busy Ball Popper is very colorful with bright colors children love.  You can have this toy set up and ready to play with just minimal assembly.  It comes with 5 colorful balls plastic balls that can be played with alone or in conjunction with the Busy Ball Popper.  It does require 4 “D” batteries that are not included.

To start playing with the Busy Ball Popper you will need to start it by pushing the bright red button.  Pushing the button will activate the music and blower.  Drop one of the plastic ball onto the ramp and watch it roll down the blue ramp, through the clear tube and then watch it shoot out of the top only to fall back on the ramp and start all over again.

Sometimes the ball doesn’t land back on the ramp and that is where big brother and big sister have fun!  They take turns trying to catch it and bringing it back for Peyton.

The Playskool Busy Ball Popper stimulates motor development skills and encourages play with the bright colors and music.

The Playskool Busy Ball Popper was the 2003 Nappa Gold Winner and has also won the Child Magazine Best Toy award and the American Baby Best Toy award.

Buy It: You can purchase the Playskool Busy Ball Popper at many retail outlets as well as from the Playskool website for $19.99.  You can also purchase

      Some of the other Playschool toys that are favorites in our house are the glowworm, Mr. Potato head, board games and puzzles, dress up clothes, and the sit n spin.

      We don’t have Kota the Dinosaur or any of his friends, but they look like really fun toys for dinosaur lovers. We don’t have the Tonka bounce back racer, but I know someone who does and they love it. The clipo toys and Dream Town Cherry Blossom and Rose Petal Cottage sets look like fun too.
