I tried that, you need many many more than 400. At least a 1000 for this pool.

I bought 1200 balls and it filled it about 6" deep. So I would say 2000 would really be needed.

The blower pump must be running when the ball pit is in use.

We had 500-600. It was a good amount for 2 kids. We first threw in 100 and it looked like there were 20 balls in it.

Maybe two bricks. Depends how thick ya want it. I soaked two bricks in a 5 gallon bucket if that gives ya an idea.

It depends on how deep you want the layers of balls. I bought one set thinking 200 balls sounded like a lot and it just barely made one layer in my daughters ball pit. We were thinking of buying two more sets for Christmas. I hope this helps.

I don't know. I'll try to find the papers that came with it. Regardless, a) it comes with two balls and only one is needed b) they're just metal balls, you could probably use a marble or find a similar metal ball. (ball bearings?)

I would say one box per child is sufficient. I have 4 children ages 5,3, 2, and 2 and they all have their own box to play with. It's really and awesome molding toy. As a mom, I like kinetic sand so much better than PlayDoh. Kinetic sand doesn't dry out like PD and it doesn't stick to anything and everything like PD does. Such a fun sensory toy for kids of all ages. My husband even thinks it's pretty great :-)

the ball pit part is 3' by 4' and I have 600 balls in it and it is full. the bounce part is about 4' x 4' square and the ball pit is a little bit shorter

You will need to go to a LOWES, or Home Depot, or some such store, and buy 2 50lb. bags. They should load it in your car for you. You need about 1 1/2 bags for a good amt. for children to play with. OR, if you want expensive COLORED sand, look on the WWW..........but, it IS expensive. I have this for my grandkids, and keep it on an enclosed porch, that way they can play with it even if it is raining.

six balls. We love them for smaller hands and young kids. Got bigger balls for teenagers that play a little harder and rougher.

One container/jar of sand is enough for it. They need to make bigger sand boxes! Easier to control kids with this size, though.

Yes. I use it as a ball pit for my 8 year old. You'll want to put it on carpet or put some padding under it. And you need ALOT of balls.....I think I have almost 2,000 in mine but it is deep. For 2 year olds maybe half as many would do. Note that you need an air pump (like from an air mattress) to blow it up - it only has a large valve.

I accidentally said yes. The answer is NO though! 50 barely fills up the bottom of the pit. I'd say AT LEAST 100 more

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

I would buy at least 200 more. The playhut its self is awesome but its a sad ball pit!
