Playskool Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper

The Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper is part of the Playskool range of educational toys aimed at babies and young children. Offering a variety of different play modes that children can enjoy from the age of 9 months, this action-packed toy is designed to get children moving with its ball popping action.

Like the majority of Playskool toys designed for very young children, the Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper has been designed to be both visually appealing and easy to use. It has a bright, colourful exterior to immediately attract the attention of babies. The Poppin Park Elefun uses air power to pop balls out of the trunk of the elephant for children to chase and it is the unpredictability of the ball popping action that creates the fun. The toy has four different modes designed to create different actions and this is controlled simply by turning the elephant’s trunk.

The toy has four settings and provides plenty of surprises for children to enjoy. The Put 'n Take Play mode is set by turning the elephant’s trunk towards the green arm and this mode drops balls into the elephant’s tummy, which is ideal for babies who are learning to sit on their own. The continuous cycling mode is set by turning the trunk towards the orange arm and creates a continuous cycle of balls popping out. The third mode, chase me play me, is set by facing the trunk forward, which results in numerous balls flying across the room for children to chase and catch. Alternatively, parents can set the elephant to a fourth random mode, which provides a random combination of the three previous modes for endless surprises.

Although the the Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper is designed to be fun and exciting for children to use, there are also a variety of benefits to its use in terms of child learning and development. At an early age, when babies are learning to sit, crawl and walk, the elephant encourages the development of gross motor skills through active play. Children are encouraged to physically interact with the toy by placing the balls inside and chasing them when they pop out. As they grow, children can also practise their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by grasping and placing the balls.

In a nutshell, the Playskool Poppin Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper is an entertaining and fun way to keep children active. Not only is it an engaging toy that is fun to use, but its also encourages a variety of key development skills in the process.
