Lots of Fun!

I want to thank Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. I expect my daughter to play with it more, however it is big enough for them to both enjoy together when they do want to play together. She actually loves to use it just like a play house and brings all her toys inside. I can see this lasting a very long time and growing with her for a while. It is very durable, not sure about weather resistant as I am keeping it as an indoor toy. I was worried my daughter would not reach the top to drop the balls down the chutes but she is and she is pretty short for her age. The assembly was about an hour, I did it myself, but it was not difficult at all. I expected that timeframe when I opened the box and noticed it was pretty big. I think that is just about right for assembly of an item like this. The purple ball popper on the outside of it tends to fall out of the hole and my daughter doesn't really use it that much but that's not a big deal really. I think this is a great product and I would recommend to any of my fellow parents with kids of toddler age to pre-k.

Great Playhouse!

First, thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program. My husband is an engineer so assembly was not difficult for him. I watched the process, and I think I could have handled it with another set of hands. It took him less than an hour to assemble. Our son, who is 2 yrs and four months, was playing with it before it was even fully assembled. He figured out the ball tubes and the catapult with a little help from Dad. He LOVES going in the house and shutting the door. He brings his favorite toys in and plays with them. He also loves to play with the cooking implements. We have had the toy for a few weeks and my son is still very interested in his house. My only suggestion would be to perhaps include a couple more accessories or maybe a little sink. Overall, great toy, lots of fun!

Hours of Toddler Fun!!

I'm a Step2 Ambassador and was given the opportunity to review the WonderBall Fun House. It was the perfect size for my super tall 2 year old, with room to grow. It would make for a perfect first or second birthday gift. I love that there are so many interactive things to play with on the playhouse. Even my 5 year old enjoys throwing the balls on the roof and watching them zig zag through the tunnels. My toddler loves opening and closing the little door, checking the mail and pretending to cook with the included pot and pan.My only complaint is that it only comes with 10 balls, but you can easily purchasemore plastic balls. I love that this fun house can also transform into a kitchen or playhouse with a little imagination. I also love that there are so many fine motor skills opportunities for toddlers to practice. This toy ranks high up there on my list of must have toddler toys!

We received the WonderBall Fun Playhouse as a Step2 Ambassador, and my two children, ages 3 and 5, are thrilled with it! It was very easy to put together, and is very sturdy. Not only have they played with it using the balls and creating obstacles courses with the balls, but it has also sparked their imagination as a restaurant and a puppet theater with a blanket over the top! I'm looking forward to playing with this a lot during the cold winter months this year!

Wonderball Fun House
on September 9, 2015

The Step 2 Wonder ball Fun House is exactly as advertised- a house full of fun! We received this product over a week ago and my 18 month of twins have yet to get bored. They are constantly inside this house( or climbing outside it) for plenty of hours of entertainment.The Step 2 Wonder ball Fun House has so many awesome features to play with. The twins especially love all the different ways to throw and interact with the balls you get with the house. Whether it be throwing them on the roof or watching them magically plinko in the pretend kitchen, this house features many surprises and many ways to explore their imaginations. We've also began learning colors and numbers so it's been a fun tool to count or color match. I've personally have enjoyed that it's almost like two toys in one. It features a kitchen so not only is it a ball fortress but it's great for pretend. I like how it attracts my rough house of a son and my mommy wanna be daughter. The Wonder ball fun house is compact which is perfect for use inside. Ours is located in our sun room/playroom and hasn't taken up much space. I do wish it had better storage for the balls to go after play and I do feel 10 balls is plenty otherwise you may be chasing balls all over the house!The directions for assembly are fairly straightforward and provide helpful pictures. It would have been better if the actual pieces were labeled with the numbers that were used to refer to them in the instructions. Because of this, you are not always certain you have the right piece. The only other frustrating part is the fact that it requires drilling screws into the pieces of plastic that make up the playhouse. It would have been helpful if holes were predrilled for these screws, but you actually have to do that yourself. If you have an electric drill, I highly suggest you use it to assemble this product. I can't imagine trying to do this with a screwdriver. It takes quite a bit of screws to accomplish.Once complete though, it is very sturdy. I don't worry about it falling over on my son who likes to climb through the sides rather than use the door.Overall this product has been great and we would recommend it to anyone with children 18 months and up! Thank you again to Step 2 for letting me review this item as part of the Step 2 tester program. All thoughts and opinions on this product are entirely my own.

Children big and small can have a ball!

Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program! This product is durable yet lightweight enough to pick up and transfer from room to room or outside for different areas to set up play. With a drill, assembly would be very easy, with only using a hand screwdriver it takes significantly longer. This toy offers many ways to play with having so many areas for the balls to be put into the house! Balls can be counted and colors of the balls can be discussed to make this toy educational! All of my children enjoy the excitement of putting the balls into the house and watching them come down through the tubes, the younger children love the opening mailbox and door feature! My kids even incorporate using their play food and animal puppets inside the house. The playhouse has many uses! Overall a quality toy for children big and small to engage with and enjoy!

Hours of entertainment!

I have always liked Step2, because of the durability and the fact that they are pretty much weather proof. They have lasted us many, many years. It's not a shock that this Wonderball Fun Playhouse lives up to the Step2 reputation. But the best thing about it, is this is one of a kind. I have never seen a playhouse with a bunch of ball ramps and tunnels. The whole idea is created for hours of fun. It did take me appx 30-45 minutes. There were a lot of screws, especially in the posts that hold up the roof. I suggest using a battery powered electric drill to get the job done. The instructions were fairly easy to follow, but I am the mom that always assembles the toys. I wouldn't say I'm a pro, but I do have experience with building larger things than this. There are 10 balls that come with it, and I think that is a great amount. It also comes with a couple cooking pans for kids to pretend to cook with. My toddler who is 2, has played in this for hours, and has really enjoyed it! My 7 year old son loves to see how fast he can get the balls through the tubes on the roof, and they both laugh like crazy.Pros:> Comes with 10 balls and 2 pans> Lots of activities all over the playhouse for hours of fun> Very durable and can stand up to the harsh weather> The house is 33 x 36 x 42 inches> Has an open floor, making it easier to clean> Bright fun colors all over the house!Cons:> Slightly difficult to assemble, lots of screws. I suggest using a powered drill.Overall, this is fun for almost all ages and provides hours of entertainment! My kids have been having a blast with it. It's a top of the line, unique Step2 product, at a good price! Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program.

Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program. My almost 2 year old LOVED this house, it is the perfect size. She plays with it daily. My 6 year old is too big to walk around in the house but she still loves to play with her sister and toss the balls on top of the house.I do like the fact it is small enough to move in between rooms of needed.
