My Grandson loves this fun house. If you have extra balls poor them on the roof and let the little one enjoy the sound of them falling down the tubes and into the house. There are so many games you can make up to play, the ball launcher is fun too. We even noticed little openings at the bottom of the house that we use to play mini golf. It really is a lot of fun, just use your imagination. Yes, you need a drill to assemble this, unless you naturally have super hand strength.

Fun for toddlers

I have a home daycare and was looking for something for my kids 4 and under. They loved it. However the ball launcher is already bending and stressed. The purple is turning white at the bend mark. Matter of time and it's going to break. I looked on Step2 to buy a replacement now before it's broke and there is no place to purchase a replacement. The balls are made of cheap material. They crush easy. A little work you can get them back to shape but no reason they should crush this easy. Knowing this issue I came again to Step2 to purchase more balls. They don't have an option to purchase more so I can to buy them off another website. They've been able to use it like a playhouse but they love the concept of tossing the balls on the roof to watch them roll down the corner posts. Overall I'm happy with the purchase but I'm really disappointed I can't purchase another launcher. It took some time to get it together and pay attention to the corner posts. If you don't line them up correctly the balls won't roll down then you have to take it apart to fix it. We were excited and didn't pay close enough attention to instruction is how we made this mistake.

The item is missing half of the parts and instruction manual! My husband and I pulled it out of hiding to assemble on Christmas Eve only to find that we can't! Now my daughters biggest/main gift from Santa will be missing! This is one tearful and mad momma!

This product is so much fun! My daughter is almost 29 months old and is EXTREMELY tall for her age and she fits great in the house and has tons of fun! It took my husband and I about 45 minutes to assemble. I do reccomend a power drill though because there are a lot of screws! Also, purchase extra balls! We used some from another step2 toy we own. She has a blast in it and especially likes the balls falling into the mailbox. We were recieving "mail" for hours! Haha! I would definitely reccomend this house and thank you Step2 for allowing us to test this item as part of the toy tester program!!

Hours of Fun!

We were very excited to have been able to test this product as part of the Step2 toy tester program. It took about 45 minutes for two adults to assemble the Wonderball Fun House. We struggled a little due to the instructions not containing any wording, just black and white photos but it was fairly clear how to put it together and the fully assembled photo on the box was a great guide as well. My daughter, who is nearly three, just loved this product. Once we showed her how the balls go into the blue tubes she couldn't get enough of it and played with it for nearly 20 minutes straight before we had to drag her away for dinner and wanted to play with it again immediately after. I had some concerns because it shows the age of use to be 1.5 years and up so I thought she would get bored, but honestly, it was the complete opposite with her asking us to watch her as she dropped the balls into the blue tubes with excitement. The product is extremely sturdy and durable and I'm quite certain it will hold up to her and my nieces enjoying it for a long time. The colors are bright, and the door is easy to open and has a gap so that no fingers will get pinched when closing it. I would definitely recommend purchasing an extra set of balls as it only comes with 10, but overall it's a great value, priced fairly and is bound to provide hours of entertainment.

He Loved it!

I bought this for a close friend of my daughter's son. I had it shipped directly to the child's home and it was pretty quick to put together. The only comment from my daughter was that there were no pre-drilled screw holes so you had to make your own. I believe that makes it more secure. He LOVED it!

We would like to thank Step2 for letting us test the Wonderball Fun House as part of the Step2 toy tester program! My husband put the house together and that was a little long, about an hour or so. However I feel the assembly is worth the hour because it is a very sturdy toy. My daughter is 4 and has down syndrome, I was a little worried she would have a hard time figuring out how to get the balls to go into the tubes from the roof. After showing her a couple times she had it down and made my heart swell, she was so excited she kept saying "I did it!" She played non-stop for about an hour with the house. My 7 month old daughter crawled over to join her and has the designated job of stopping the balls from rolling away, even our cat got involved and was playing as well! I love that each tube offers a different outcome, the one with the mailbox is her favorite so far. I would suggest getting extra balls for it as it only comes with 10 but otherwise this toy is so much fun for everyone in our house, we love it! I would recommend this product for any child with special needs, it helps to teach cause and effect and provides tons of giggles!

The children love the features, especially being able to fling the balls on the roof.
