My 5 month old son took to this toy immediately. It has a tree in the center which you can drop the peek-a-rounds into. The ball can go over a bridge and down another tree to one of the spinning disks, or it can drop onto a waterfall and onto the other disk. Either path starts the disks spinning to music and the ball will move around on the disks, bouncing from one to the other. The disks have colorful pictures on them. They can also be started (and stopped) by a big red button at the base of the toy. There are two bugs - one on a tree will move up and down, and one on the waterfall spins. In addition, my son especially likes a door on the center tree that opens to reveal a sticker of some monkeys.

The toy comes with four cute peek-a-rounds (monkey, lion, elephant and parrot) and I purchased an additional set of six. My son likes them as much as he likes the peek-a-blocks and they are easier for him to hold.

My only complaint is the same as the other reviewers - when the balls are bouncing around on the spinning disks it is loud and the music can't be heard. One thing I really like though, is that when my son stops the disks from spinning by putting his hands on them, there is no horrible grinding sound of the motor like I have found with other toys (e.g. the Incrediblock).

I bought this toy, along with another package of rollarounds for my daughter on her first birthday. I thought she would like them since we all ready had a million peek-a-blocks, and the incridi-block, and she enjoyed those. Well when we opened this up she was so excited to play with this...She played with it for hours! I think this was one her favorite toys so far, she absolutly loves it! It also teaches shapes because once it was opened she looked at the shape of the ball and the drop spot, and put it right in, but i think more importantly it enhances motor skills, and visiual skills. This toy aslo keep her enertained which is important because most of the time she will only play with a toy for so long, but this one she keeps coming back too...just like the incridi-block.

I bought this for my son when he was 10 months old. He loves it still at 13 months. He loves to put the balls in the tree and watch them spin. There is also a door on the tree that opens to reveal a monkey. He loves to keep opening and closing the door to see the monkey. Great toy, a bit noisy though. When the balls spin it plays music but you can't really hear it because the balls rolling around make a lot of noise.

My ten month old plays with this toy on and off all day long. He loves to press the red button and listen to the music and see the discs turn. Today he even tried putting other things through the hole in the tree! I think it's great at teaching him cause and effect and also putting the ball through the hole is a great accomplishment for little ones! The toy is durable, my little one plays rough. When all four balls are on the wheels, the music is drowned out and it is quite noisy. However, my son still likes to play with it. He likes to stop the wheels from turning and also loves to play with the peek a rounds themselves.

My son received this as a gift when he was 1. We were already familiar with the peek-a-boo round blocks so this just added to his fun. It is a little noisy, but that's why the off button was invented.

My daughter loves this toy-she plays with it all the time!

I agree that it's insanely noisy but after a couple rounds you tune it out.

It's given her lots of practice with her motor skills and she loves the monkeys behind the door-she loves to peek-a-boo them.

My 6 month old loves this. The on button is big so he can hit it easily. It is true that you can't hear the music while the balls are on it, but that is why I bought it. The racket that it makes when the balls go is just what he likes. Before we had to shake keys or bang things on the table to entertain him sometimes. Not sure why he likes banging noises. Now he can do it himself and it entertains him for 30-40 minutes at a time. Great product.

We bought this toy for my 10 month old daughter for Christmas and after 2 weeks of hardly any play, the wheels stopped spinning. What a waste...

The only good thing was Fisher Price customer service, I called them and they offered to send me out a voucher for what I paid for it to either replace it or get another toy. I will not be buying another one of these...

We bought this toy for our son and it only lasted about 3 months. After that the wheels stopped spinning. It is very loud but my son didn't seem to mind. He really liked this toy. I'm sorry it didn't last longer. I did call Fisher Price about it. They really do have great customer service! All in all, it is a fun toy for the little ones.

My 15 month old dd has has had this toy for about 5 months and it hardly gets played with. It is quite loud when all the balls are on it at once and it just gets old really fast. So if your baby isnt easily entertained this toy might not be worth it for you. She does like to play with the balls but i could have just bought those instead. So basically I think it is a pretty boring toy and I wouldn't probably buy it again unless it was like 10$ or less.
