Really like this toy!May 27, 2009
By M. Michels
"reader indulger"
I really like this toy. I bought it for my sons 1st birthday, but ended up giving it to him a few weeks early. My son started playing with it as soon as we gave it to him. I wasn't sure if I should buy it or not because there were no reviews. But, I went with it. At first I thought it was a little small. I don't know what I was expecting, and I didn't look at the dimensions. But after having it for a while, it is the perfect size. My son can sit with it on the floor, or stand and play at a table. Its perfect! He really enjoys putting the balls in and watching them fall. I'll hear him playing while I'm off in another room.
The balls don't make much noise. In fact, my orange one doesn't make any noise. The others ones just sound like they have a tiny ball inside that can hardly move. But even with that, my son will still shake them. The toy on the back = pointless. They should have just put a funny picture or something. The balls roll down it, then roll off and do not stay on the track. Maybe the track isn't deep enough. or maybe my house is slanted, either way my balls do not stay on it. But who cares, the front is too much fun to play with the back anyway.
Even with those two things, I would buy this toy for everyone I know, and plan to buy it for my nephew. I've caught Dad playing with it, and I too play with it. It's fun to make your own rhythm with hitting the balls down: all at once, a second in between, once they hit a certain slide - silly I know, but fun.
Plus, the toy seems sturdy. I'm very pleased with how it is made, and it is bright and colorful. The balls have some weight to them, which I like. I wouldn't have wanted a flimsy light ball. The toy can teach color matching by putting the balls into their colored hole. It also teaches cause and effect and coordination.
One more thing. It has a knob on the side that is for stopping the balls. For my son now, he doesn't understand how it is to be used. So, he'll turn it and it will stop the balls. I'll have to come fix it for him. This has happened once or twice, but not a big deal. After he understands it, I think it will be fun for him. He can let one ball go, then close it, and whatever else his imagination comes up with. That's just what I've done with it! :)

 Tolo Roller Ball Run - Great 1st Birthday Gift!Aug 02, 2009
By A. Harp
I bought the Tolo Ball Run for my daughter's first birthday. I am a big fan of the Tolo brand as they make quality toys that are durable. The ball run was a huge hit - my 1-year old easily can put the balls in the holes, bang them down with her hand and watch them run. Over and over again :^) She loves it! Great toy. Easy for two kids to play with and take turns. The 3 balls have nice black and white patterns on one half, and colors on the other half. Later you can teach your child to match the ball color to the hole color.

Fun!Jul 15, 2011
By Entrada
My daughter is only 9.5 months and she loves this. She can put the ball in the top (not everytime, but maybe 30% of the time and getting better) and hits it a few times to drop it down to the track. She loves the clacking noise it makes (warning to parents - it is NOT a quiet toy). I showed her how one day. The next day she put the balls up herself and the day after hit them through. She hasn't yet figured out the knob/switch on the side or what to do if there's another ball in the top preventing the balls from rolling down, so it will force some good problem solving skills. I really like that it's fun (visually and auditorily), helps with motor development and hand-eye-coordination, as well as problem solving skills. And she likes it because it is fun!
Edit: My daughter is now 16 months old and still likes this toy. She doesn't play with it as much, as she's had it a while, and has sort of figured out the knob on the side. When other kids come over (the oldest we've had is about 2 years), they've all had lots of fun with it and played for quite a while.
Captivating toyMay 01, 2012
By Quilt Lady
My grandson, age 9 months, has learned to roll these balls already. He'll sit for 30 minutes playing with this toy. The balls are interesting by themselves. I like that there is no hammer needed, just the release lever after the balls are pushed down. Very sturdy toy...the balls are hard, so an older child who throws things would need to be watched.
One Of The Best Toys Ever!Feb 10, 2012
By Melissa
Based on the so few reviews of this toy I would have say that it must be an undiscovered GEM in the toddler toy world. I got this toy for my grandson at 7 months old, although I think that it is rated for children a little bit older, and he took to it right away. He started out liking to watch me put the balls in, watch them roll down the tracks, and trying to do it himself. Now at 10 months old he runs the whole operation by himself. He is incredibly attracted to this toy, and immediately goes strait to it whenever it is in his sight. He actually STAYS absorbed with it for a good 20 min at a time. Which lets face it is WOW! He also returns to it over and over throughout the day. Four months of play and it is still a favorite, with no signs of slowing down. Score! I am not sure if it is the colors, or that they fit in his hands just right, but the balls that come with this toy seem to be very attractive to him. They do have nice color patterns and make a nice little snick-snick-snick noise when rolling down the tracks, that he seems to like as well. There really is nothing he does not like about this toy! It seems really well made, and so far has held up to the tough love of toddlerville really well. I love that it a fantastic toy for developing his motor skills. They have to reach into the bottom well, grab the ball, put it into the holes on the top, and then push them down to make them go rolling down the tracks. The 20 minute span of occupied baby is pretty stellar as well. I can't even get his attention when he is deep in "rolly track world". To sum it up, best buy ever!
