Bought this for our grandson (18-months old) because it looked like fun and that it is! He loves throwing a ball and quickly adapted to throwing the balls on the roof and watching them come down the tubes. We put a bucket under the mailbox and he loves to open the mailbox and watch all the balls empty into the bucket. Not that I advise this, but I allow him to sit on the roof and roll all the balls into the tubes (I'm holding him of course) He loves using the gate and going inside the house, too.

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.

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!

This House is a Huge hit for all AgesI had a small party this weekend and all the kids were fighting over the house. They all wanted to play inside. They give it with more than enough balls for everyone to join the fun. I love Step 2.We got a kitchen set 1st and now the Fun House. By far my favorite brand and the quality is excellent.

This house is in our backyard and is the absolute perfect size for our two year old. She loves the different ways the balls come from the roof and likes to gather them up from the ground and throw them on top again. She is too young for imaginative play right now so the throwing and re-gathering keeps her busy, but as she gets older she can use it in other ways too. Like I said its a really nice size to have in the yard (aka its easy to move so you can mow around it!).

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!

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.

This is a great play toy for my children ages 1 1/2 to 4. They are well occupied for an hour or more. It is not easy to assemble as the holes for screws have not been pre-drilled. As there are a lot of holes to drill (maybe 60!), t is a must to have a drill to do this. One rule I use is that the balls must stay with the equipment and not carried all over the yard! It came with 20 bright colored balls

I purchased this for my home childcare. The little ones have played with it daily! An unexpected side effect was the amount of toy throwing decreased tremendously. Having an acceptable area to throw toys removed the need to throw everything, I guess. Lol

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!
