Fisher Price Roll A Rounds Tumble Bug Ball Drop

Cute toy

2006-07-13
I purchased this toy because I didnt want to spend $40 for the Drop and Roll Dino (which I really wanted) if my 9-month old didn't like it. She likes it, but its not her favorite toy. I showed her how to put the balls in the mouth twice, and she is a pro now. Other reviewers have said it falls over easily, but it stands up better than I expected. It is very lightweight plastic, but my daughter has yet to hurt herself on it, and she's constantly knocking it over (on purpose and accidentally). The one annoying thing about is the giggle sound only is activated on the top arm. I wish it was on all three. I think its good for the price, but since she's not that into it, I'm glad I didnt spend the money on the dino.

my son loves it

my son got this as a gift at about 6 month old and it took him a while to figure it out and now that he has figured it out he loves it, lol he is so proud of himself when he puts the balls in the bugs mouth. Also he sticks anything in the balls mouth lol his stacking rings anything that will fit goes into that bug, and it still hasnt broken and its six months later. I say def worth the buy!

My Nephew LOVES this Toy

my Nephew got this toy when he was (6 1/2 months old) as a PRE-christmas Gift and he loves it along with his other toys at first he had to fingure it out....but once it made the sound "teehee..." he Laughed! and played with it for hours at a time along with his baby blocks!! i love this toy because it easy to play with and clean when he gets shaken and pukes!! but over all its a great toy!!

Educational toy

My daughter is 11 months old and loves this toy. She does not play with it for long periods of time but I don't expect her to. She is just under one years old and doesn't have a great attention span yet, but she quickly learned how to put the balls in the mouth to hear the music and watch it roll. This toy is great for motor skills development and problem solving at this age. It is also a good idea for crawlers or walkers as they have to chase the balls down and bring it back to the toy.
The only problem with this toy, it doesn't stay standing very well on carpet.

Ok Toy Not His best by far..

My son got this for Christmas he is 8.5mths old.. he figured out how to work it straight away.. he did keep putting the balls in but i would say it will only entertain him for about 10mins or so.. i think the laugh and learn range of toys give him much greater entertainment.

Keeps interest...

Tumble Bug is a drop-through toy that introduces brand-new ball action to your baby. Your little one can feed Tumble Bug three "Rounds" and then watch them tumble down from side-to-side across his body. As the Rounds tumble, the Bug's hands wave to your baby while one of five musical tunes plays. The Rounds then randomly roll out of the Bug and back into your baby's hands. The three bug-themed Rounds include a lady bug, a butterfly and bumble bee - each with fluttering action. Tumble Bug measures 2' tall. Requires 2 button (LR44) batteries (included).

Fairly good toy

As some others wrote, this toy does topple easily and is prone to "whacking" the face when it tips over, especially for my 7 month old who immediately tries to chew on it every time he sees it. With a little supervision, though, it is a fun toy. The balls are the perfect size for little ones. The sound effects always make my son laugh and aren't too loud or too long so that Mom & Dad can still hear themselves think. Overall, it's worth the price and is entertaining.

It's okay

I thought my daughter would really like this toy becuase she loves putting things in anything. But suprisingly, this only keeps her attention for a few minutes at a time. I think maybe the balls just drop too fast and she doesn't get it. There isn't really a lot to do. She really loves the Peek-A-Blocks Giraffe. She will play with it for 20 minutes easily a couple times a day. Get that instead. This one just doesn't keep interest long.

The Facewacker

2005-10-12
Yes this toy is a dreaded facewacker. Don't let your child play with it, it has no stability, as one reviewer noted it falls over, which direction is up to your child, ouch daddy my nose !!! double ouch, thanks amazon for charging shipping costs to return !!!

Big Fun For Little Tots!

We got this for our baby as soon as he was sitting up. He loves the Peek-A-blocks AND also loves balls so we thought this would be a fun toy for him. He caught on quickly and has SO much fun putting the balls in the bug's mouth, watching them fall down through the bug's arms while playing a tune and grabbing the ball as it comes back out at the bottom. He giggles every time! It was fun to watch him learn this new skill in coordination and have fun doing it. The only drawback about this toy is that it sometimes falls over backwards when the baby is trying to insert the ball. We remedied this by putting the back of the toy against the couch and sitting our baby in front of it. We love so many of Fisher Price's toys and they have done it again!

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
