How long did your kid play with this? Was it just a novelty, or something they enjoyed for a long while?

When I purchased this my son was only a little over 1y/o. He's 2 now and still plays with it. Not daily but off and on, and when other kids come over they all like the ball pit. The only issue is that just recently at his birthday party some of the bigger kids were in it and the ballpit has a huge tear now so the balls are spilling out. So we got about 1yr of use out of it. Not sure if we can save the ball pit, so may end up just getting rid of it. Overall, it's a nice item for ages 2-5 yrs due to its size.

Lol. Sorry to laugh but you don't remember these when we were younger? I'm 30 I had one. The two white knobs you see on both sides makes lines/designs when your turn them. It's not fancy but it's fun for small kids

My eleven year old plays it with the neighbor kids, all range from ages 5 to 12. They like it; it's one of those things that when it was new they played constantly and after a month or two they tired of it. Then i put it away for a while and when it came back out everyone was excited again for a while.

My daughter was 2 when she got it and played with it non-stop for 2 years. She is 4.5 now and still plays with it but not as frequently.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

I didn't and it seems to be fine for my 3-year-old. She's been using it for a year with no complaints.

I bought this for my 1 year old son who enjoys it but I think he may have enjoyed it more several months earlier. He seems as though he may outgrow it quickly. I think it has some nice features that could be enjoyed and played with differently through a wide range of ages which is why I bought it. He is just getting to seem too tall to enjoy playing jnside it much already. I think we may have gotten more use out of it if I bought it back while my son was first crawling. Not sure if this helps but it is very cute.

I purchased for my nephew; he was turning 7 and he loved it! My kids had a similar one at age 6. I think it depends on the child.

My 6 year old got enjoyment out of it and I think sitting with him and playing helped him understand it. I would think a 4 year old could possibly enjoy it, and if not alone, at least for the time with the adult

As a grandmother, I have purchased at least 3 maybe 4 of these (one for me and the others for my grandkids). It is one of the toys that remains out at my home. I have never heard of the sounds going off on it's own. Many of my grandchildren have played with it beyond 2 yrs. old. It really depends on what the child is interested in. All of my children have enjoyed having one at their home as well.

No not at all! He will enjoy it for a long time my almost three year old is three feet tall has always been really tall for her age. She won't be three till sept. She plays on this daily. Hourly. It's in our living room in the winter and spring and outside for summer and fall here in virginia. We got it when she was one. She's not bored of it yet. She sits up there n looks at books and plays with toys. She uses it as a stage to sing songs from. And still climbs under it, through it, and on it and enjoys the slide very much. Depending on the clothing the slide maybe faster. She goes down fast and loves it! Seriously one of our best purchases. Hope this helped :)

That really depends on how interested he/she still is in the little cars; I have a 9 year old that hasn't been real interested in playing with it, but our 7 year old boy will play with it, esp. with me, but not as often as we did a few months ago when we first got it. I wish the track was a little longer, but it does work pretty well.

Depends on your kids, I guess. Ours played with them a lot...and wanted more so they could talk to each other. We had to censor the Furby's language at times...we're pretty particular...but other than that, the kids paid a lot of attention to them for 6-9 months. We ended up with several of varying sizes. The littlest ones never worked we'll at all but the larger ones were fine. Personally, think they're creepy, but the kids liked them.

We've had them for almost a year now, not too long but awhile. My kids (2 &5) find some way to play with them a few times a week, not quite daily. They still get a lot of use and in many different ways. I highly recommend them. (They are very durable also. Still look and play like new!)

My 3 year old and 5 year old played with it for a half hour and haven't touched it since. It would be age appropriate if they like it as mine is gathering dust.

I got my son one at 6 months old. He loved it when he could crawl and turn it on. Doesn't really touch it now and he's 16 months

I understand your frustration with this toy, as we have experienced the same issues... I immediately changed the batteries, which helped, but overall it's just a very cheaply made toy. It still works, several months later, but only when stroked lightly with the stick not by hand. I was expecting more, but in the end, my 3 year old likes it well enough the way it is, so we kept it. She actually played with it just today! Hope this helps.
