Pros: Not too expensive

| ritalee76's Full Review: Fisher-Price Bead Ball |
What it is...
This is a scaled-down version of the beads-on-a-wire thing that every pediatrician's office seems to have. It is a plastic ball shaped tangle of plastic "wires" with beads in the shape of bugs and flowers to move around the maze.
So, why the negative review?
Okay, I really don't like to write negative reviews... When I do write a review, its because I'm happy I found something and I like to spread the word.
What's so bad about it?
This toy is big, bulky and just plain BORING. Maybe I'm too picky but I like toys that fit well in the toy box or diaper bag. This one just takes up too much room! It is about 12" diameter and just takes up too much space. There is no way it would fit in a diaper bag.
None of my kids like it. I bring it out regularly thinking that one day, the kids will magically like it. No such luck yet - I'm determined so I'll keep on trying :)
Is it really that bad?
I guess if my kids liked it, I could deal with the fact that its big. Maybe other kids like it. Maybe mine are really, really weird. Then again, maybe not! ;)
Final thoughts...
In general, I love Fisher-Price toys. We have so many I couldn't even count. My two year old is a Little People fanatic and knows them all by name. I've got Fisher Price toys in every room of my house including the bathroom! Usually, their toys are well thought out and kids love them. Not this time.
