Busy Ball Popper: If only...

...I could turn back time!

Looking back, the toys availabel when I was a child seem so bland. I've just bought my little one a Busy Ball Popper. Heard of it? If not, it's one of those toys that's guaranteed to keep your youngsters playing with it for hours and hours. More importantly, it's actually pretty cheap compared to some of the so called learning toys on the market right now - I've seen prices between £35 and £40 so it shouldn't break the bank.

What is it, and, will it annoy parents? Firstly, it's an air-powered toy that plays a range of 8 songs and some silly sound effects and is designed for children of 9 months upwards. Second answer; yes, probably. If you're adverse to hearing little ditties being played over and over again you'd better invest in some earplugs! And get used to picking up the balls - they're constantly being blown all over the place!

Don't let me put you off. This is actually a really cool toy for young kids - it's one of the few that I've found that keep mine occupied for more than about 3 minutes!
