Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought this for our 11 month old son. I put a ball in the top area and he watched it fall with great interest. He was able to put the ball in himself immediately after watching me do it the first time. The item comes in 5 pieces which you just stack on top of one another in whatever color pattern you chose. They come apart easily, so this might become a game my son also enjoys. It comes with 3 balls that have beads inside and jingle. They roll so easy all over carpet and flooring that alone they are super fun, too. I recommend this for ages 9 months and up. A 9 month old may not be able to play with it alone for it's intended purpose, but would certainly enjoy watching an adult put the balls in and watch them fall as well as play with the balls alone. I purchased this specifically because it has no harmful phthalates (phthalate-free). We typically by wooden and other non-toxic toys so I feel really good about this purchase.
