Q: Are the balls weighted? Do they make a good "clunk" sound when they go down?
submitted by Susan - 3 years ago
A: Hi Susan. The balls are a hollow heavier plastic. When going through the hole, they make a plastic hitting plastic sound. We hope this helps. Thank you. The Battat Team

My 2 year old daughter really likes playing with this toy. It keeps her entertained for a while which is great. Like expected, It is quite loud when she’s banging on the balls. I am giving it 4 stars because I feel like it takes a little too much force for the balls to go down, it seems like they should go down a bit easier with one good bang but it takes a few whacks. Which in turn creates more banging. But overall a fun engaging toy. I would recommend it.
Fun toy!

My 12 month old love this toy. We received it as a gift, It’s pretty difficult for him to hit the balls through the holes, he just loves hitting everything with the hammer 😂
Happy kid guaranteed

When we got this my son used to love to push them and pound these through. 2+ years later my 18 month old discovered it and she whack’s these with ease. She loves every second and is learning confidence, fine motor skills, colors and grouping. It takes a beating and I love that it’s a basic durable toy. No batteries, flashing lights, fancy bells or whistles. Great for 18 months+

If your child puts anything other than the balls down the chute you have to completely disassemble the toy to get it out. Do yourself a favor and just buy the version on Amazon!

Hi Cait - Thanks for sharing your experience. We hope that your kiddos have learned that to get maximum fun from the B. toys Whacky Ball, it's best to only put the balls down the chute! But then... kids will be kids! Sincerely, Team Battat

The ball was very hard to whack I don’t think a small child could do it, mine couldn’t maybe an older child could but the targeted age group won’t

4fam - 11 months ago
I bought this for my 20 month old and he doesn’t hit it hard enough with the mallet to force the balls through. I showed him how to push the balls through with his hands but even then he had to be standing over top of it and using all of his weight to get the balls to drop down. With him standing above it, he misses the movement through the path. I’m returning it for this reason only.

Hi 4fam - We are sorry to hear that your little one wasn't able to play with the B. toys Whacky Ball. Instead of returning it, maybe you could consider putting it away until your child is a little older (and stronger!) Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Sincerely, Team Battat

This toy is very entertaining but very loud. The plastic is solid and does not move so the ball has to be hit hard for it to go down. However as I said very entertaining, just might need to be hidden after a day of playing until your ears recover.

The toy is recommended for one year plus and my three year old can’t even push the balls through- it is also a very loud toy for those who have babies napping.

It was so difficult to hammer the balls through. My one year old couldn’t do it. It took a lot of effort for me to even do it.

I love the idea and quality of this toy but the balls are very difficult for my 2 year old to hit into the holes and even for me. The gravel we got doesn't make the squeaky noise unless we push it in with our hands. It is also really loud when hitting the balls since we have to hit so hard to make them go in. I'm just going to buy my son bouncy balls to put through holes and save the original balls.

This toy keeps my 2 and 3 year olds entertained for long stretches. I wish there were extra balls as it's easy for toddlers to lose them when they play.
