My two granddaughters ages one and two got this toy last year for christmas they  had so much fun chasing the balls when they popped out.. These two little girls have  laughed and played with this toy the ball popper for almost a year now and it still continues to work. We have had to change batteries two or three times but that's not bad we have had toys that takes new batteries every couple days. The girls do try stick other little toys in it and it does jam up but you just turn it upside down and shake it and the toy comes right out. Very good toy for little boys or girls.
