Kids will have fun hammering these brightly colored balls through the holes in this tower. Watch the balls roll through the ramps. Which way will it come out first? Knock one through at a time, or hammer all four at once and watch what happens. The classic toy includes see-through slots in the tunnels so children can investigate as the balls roll through the contraption. After they all fall through, set it up, and hammer them through again. Listen to the sound they make as they roll through each part. Challenge your kids to match the balls to the rings at the top where they go to build color recognition.

Fun and colorful
I recently purchased a baby ball dropper for my little one, and I have to say, it has quickly become one of our favorite toys.First of all, the design is incredibly cute. It is shaped like a fun animal character with bright colors that instantly attract my baby’s attention. The quality of the materials is top-notch, with no sharp edges or small parts that could be a choking hazard.The functionality of the ball dropper is also impressive. It comes with a set of colorful balls that easily fit into the dropper, and when the lever is pressed, the balls drop down into the slide. My baby loves watching the balls roll down and eagerly waits to catch them at the bottom.What I appreciate most about this toy is that it promotes hand-eye coordination and teaches cause and effect. My little one has learned to press the lever to make the balls drop, which has been a great way to develop fine motor skills.Another great feature is that the ball dropper includes different settings for the speed of the balls. This allows for adjustable play, making it suitable for babies of various ages and developmental stages.The only small downside I can think of is that the balls can sometimes get stuck in the slide, requiring a little shake or tap to get them moving again. However, this doesn’t happen frequently and doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of the toy.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the baby ball dropper. It is a well-designed, durable, and entertaining toy that has captivated my baby’s attention and helped her develop important skills. I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a fun and educational toy for their little ones.

Wasnât convinced at first but now I like it
We bought this product for our 14 month old to begin color recognition, and other fine motor skills that the toy provides. He liked it right off the bat and enjoys hitting the balls through the holes and watching them come down. It does entertain him for a good 15 minutes at a time. It is very sturdy, seems to be a good quality item and even my five-year-old will play with it some just for fun with his brother. It is very light weight and nice appearance.

Five stars for enjoyment, three for construction.
First off, my kiddo loves playing with this. He loves watching the balls roll out the bottom after he hits them. If this was all I was rating on, this toy would get five stars.However, the toy comes in two pieces. The first one is the actual ball drop chute and its base, and the second is the *rest* of the base (the groove where the balls end up after they’ve fallen). This wouldn’t be a problem if there was any real locking mechanism to it, but there’s only two little linear tabs that keep it from going side to side but not up and down. This means when my kid is playing with it, it frequently jackknifes itself apart. Annoying. I could probably fix this with some epoxy, but I shouldn’t have to.On a related note, the base is super narrow and lightweight and the chute itself is tall and heavy, so it falls over a lot even when the base *doesn’t* come apart. This sends the balls everywhere if they’re set up. Hilarious for my kid, annoying for me since I’m the one that has to go find them when they skitter off into another room (they are insanely bouncy on tile).The pieces do seem reasonably sturdy, and I’m not afraid of bits breaking of and getting eaten or anything. The balls themselves are the best part in my opinion. They feel well made and like I said before, my kid loves to see them bounce. These things keep me from dropping my rating another star.All in all, despite my long-winded ranting review, it’s a pretty good toy. It does what’s advertised despite its annoyances and it’s plenty entertaining while helping motor skills and color recognition. I need to go buy some epoxy now though.

Better than melissa and doug
I have both the melissa and doug one and this one. I bought this one after my baby went crazy playing with it at a local children’s museum. He has continued to play with it almost daily where the melissa and doug one rarely gets touched even with toy rotation.The other is more aesthetic, but this one is just more enjoyable to play with according to my baby haha

I found it!
I had been looking for a slightly similar product I used when my eight year old was a baby that focused on motor skills and found out it was discontinued and no longer available for purchase. I was so sad but was determined to find something like it and I must say this is very close. Love how interactive it can be and the color coordination with the balls where it eventually can be another learning opportunity when she’s older is a great added aspect. It’s not overly complicated and I actually like that part. Little ones don’t need super high tech things to learn the essential skills and I feel like this definitely hits that mark, while still making it fun for the babies.

Good product
This is my 3rd attempt at getting this kind of toy for my child, and I’m relieved I finally found one that works. The balls don’t get stuck and, overall, the toy is well-made. I definitely recommend this company’s version of the pound-a-ball.

Bought this for my 1 year old daughter and she loves it. Sheâs already figured out how to drop the balls and we are also using it to learn colours.
