Toys and Games Reviews of Playskool Busy Ball-Tivity Center
Customer Review: Thumbs up
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter received this as a gift at 20 months and loved it (she's not interested in it much at all now at 2 1/2). My son began playing with it around 7 months and plays with it every day still now that he's 12 months. There are few toys he really gets interested in, so I am extremely thankful for this toy!
There are three pieces (alligator, tree, elephant) that you can remove or stack. Air blows up through them and makes the elephant ears spin, the alligator chomp, and the tree top spin. Fun for a baby to watch. A ball pins around in the middle circle and another ball bobbles up as the air pushes it. Both balls are removable. The monkey in the tree is not a removable piece--it just pops up when you press the ladybug to start the toy.
Customer Review: best overall return on investment
Summary: 5 Stars
I am writing this review after 1 year of buying this toy. My son is 2yrs now and he still pulls this out once and gets busy with it.
The toy is very solidly built. I am now missing the balls (of course), but all the other attachments are still working fine.
I think the reason my son liked this so much is that this is very different concept compared to usual toys. the concept of air being used to make something else move, it quite intriguing for him.
specially one of the attachements (the palm tree) was his favorite toy standalone for many months. on one of our international trips, this was the only toy which calmed him down during the tough days of severe cold temperatures and also pneumonia.
5 stars to this toy!
Customer Review: Doesn't Look Like Much... But My Son Loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll admit when I got this toy as a gift for my son at the baby shower, I wasn't expecting much. It looks kinda boring... but I guess that's just an adults perspective, because my son LOVES THIS TOY! He has played with it since he was about 6 months old. He's now 15 months and is still entertained by it on occasion. Best of all, we haven't had to replace any batteries in this toy. I don't know how it continues to work, but it does. This was given to my son by a friend who works for the company that made the toy and it was ranked as one of their top toys in the kid testing that they do... that's why she gave it to him. I guess this is one toy that's not made to entertain adults, it's strictly for the babies!Customer Review: My daughter loves this toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my daughter when she was 15 months old, and she loves this toy! It's one of the few toys that will keep her attention for hours on end. She quickly learned to turn it on and off, and to push the mushroom to make it work. She likes to stack the pieces together, and she has learned to get the ball out of the floating pocket.
This has been one of the best toys we have purchased for her, and we luckily got it on sale for thirteen bucks on Amazon before Christmas, though it has been priced as low as six ninety nine!
Even running this toy all the time, we are still on the first set of batteries which I find pretty impressive. I can not say enough good things about this toy!
Customer Review: Fun Toy, But Does Not Last Very Long
Summary: 3 Stars
Both the baby and I thought this toy was great when we opened it. She had a lot of fun figuring out how the different parts moved (although she was not a fan of the alligator snapping his jaws at her--we just took him away). It lasted for about three months before it broke. It started not turning off and making a loud, high pitched squeal sound. Since it was such a cool concept, I was hoping it would last much longer. I think that for the price, it should be made better. Even though it was fun for the three months, I would not have bought it had I known it would last so short a time. It sure is a lot of plastic to throw into a landfill--I would think twice about this purchase.
