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.

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.

If you only had one toy for your child, this should be it!!!!July 7, 2010 Hereby Grace(The Big Island, Hawaii) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This toy is, hands down, the absolute best toy ever made. I know that sounds extreme but this thing has kept my son busy from age 6 months to now (he is currently 20 months). This toy has outlived every other toy and has actually grown with him. He went from watching the balls spin around to coming up with all different things he could do with this. He even put a straw wrapper in it to see how the air would spin that around, and it did. This is my third child and I have never seen a toy hold a child's interest for so long. It really is worth every penny.

My 2 year old grandson has played and played and played with this toy. I have found it to be quite durable and very much fun for him. I purchased it for his first Christmas,he is now over 2 years old and still plays with it reguarly. i cant bring myself to "retire" it yet.
Busy Ball-Tivity ExceptionalFebruary 13, 2010 G. Sullivan(Chicago Metro) 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.
Entertaining toy!February 6, 2010 K. Christensen(Draper, UT) 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.
Gandkids love this toyJanuary 22, 2010 Maria Hillman 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.
