Evan's new ball popper!

Here is a video of Evan playing with his new ball popper. I got this out about a week ago and he watched it for a few seconds and started to cry. I wasn't sure if he was scared of the thing or overwhelmed by the popping balls flying around the room. It does have a rather loud fan, so that could've been it too(I read some reviews on the product and other kids are scared of it too). I got it out again and he wasn't scared of it anymore. As you can see he tries to stop the balls from popping up with the ball in his hand. I think this causes a back pressure of air which will make the next balls fly out even higher. Right now this is more of a parents toy, because I end up retrieving the balls for him that go flying around the room. He does seem to understand to put the balls on the ramp and they roll down to the bottom when he finally decides to let go of them.

Look how big Evan looks in his red chair? You can compare his size to the picture at the top of the blog.
