    My Review of Box & Balls

    Was a gift for my 6 year old great nephew. His mom told me he loves playing with it and keeps coming up with different ways to set the boxes up to play. The whole family enjoys playing with it. It is heartwarming to know that our gift was a hit ( words used by parents of recipient) since we don't live in the same city or get to see them much. It's nice to know they are enjoying...all of them!

    This is a great gift! We gave it to a 5 treat old and he caught on intuitively as to different ways to arrange and play with it. His dad who is an engineer is also looking forward to playing it with him. The stack boxes are well made. The only request I would have is a pouch to hold the 8 little balls. We added the Fat Brain sack to hold the toy which was essential in keeping it all together. It is a fabulous toy and I will be purchasing more for other children!

    Really well built boxes & the balls are crazy bouncey. Grandson (4yrs) loved creating different games with it & chasing the balls that "missed". Balls are also good for a game of catch & bounce-catch. And I'm sure there are new games to come.

    Lots of possibilities in setting up the containers. The different sizes produce different sounds. Lots of trial and error involved so interest is maintained. Fair amount of Ball Chasing, however.

    I love that the toy is made of wood instead of plastic, like most other toys. Although my grandsons seemed to young to be following directions for this toy, it will be fun to re-introduce it to them when they are more mature. Our oldest grandson is 5, and

    This is a wonderful toy that reminds me of toys I had as a child; it requires the child to use his brain and dexterity, which is rare in toys these days. It's refreshing to have a toy that doesn't require batteries or makes loud noises. However, I think this toy is more suited for older children, maybe 8 years and older. Our young grandsons didn't have the patience to learn all the ways to play with the boxes and balls as suggested. It depends on the maturity of the child, I would guess.

    Our son loves creating new challenges for our family to solve. It has helped to teach him about perseverance and it's a fun way for the whole family to play together. Even our two year old loves listening to the rhythmic sounds of the balls rolling down the "stairs" made of boxes.

    My grandson loved it. I asked if he'd like to leave it at my house so he could play when he visit and his response was: oh no, please I'd like to take it home!

    We love these . So much fun to play with as a family . All the kids love them

    We recently got this for our five-year-old boy and he's super into it. Seems well-built and the possibilities are endless. One note: the balls fit all too well into Mega Bloks, so keep an eye out for that!

    It took a while to get the hang of it but once that was done it became challenging and fun to arrange the boxes in various locations and distances. The only draw back is tracking down the ball on the many missed shots, especially when maybe something was too adventurous.

    The product is built simple & solid and appears to be able to withstand regular wear and tear. The amount of bounce balls it came with is adequate.

    Spent more time chasing balls that didn't land in target box. Lost interest.
