We looked at a lot of "marble towers" and decided on this one because it does not have any annoying electronic music or lights to over stimulate my daughter. We read reviews and talked to other parents before we purchased this product. Other brands of similar products have problems with the tower coming apart. This one has the tower firmly attached and it has not come apart despite a rambunctious toddler pulling on it. My daughter loves the little penguin that goes down the spiral ramp. It's a great cause-and -effect toy and a fine motor skills toy. We love that it doesn't take batteries and is all "kid powered!"

I was so happy to see this toy on Amazon. I have a child with developmental disabilities and this is something I've seen in her therapy catalogs. It is always priced much higher in them. So, I was thrilled to see it here, with of course a good price and fast shipping (lower than all the therapy stores too!). This toy is great for any child--typically developing or not. Even my older child gets a kick out of. It's lots of fun & kid-powered.Best Deals for Kidoozie Super Spiral Play Tower
I do like this toy. No Batteries which is great and fun activities which my one year old is really enjoying. However it is made of fairly brittle plastic and he has managed to crack the main tube for the frog to go down. It isn't so bad that I feel I must take it away but has made me keep a more watchful eye on him. He also has managed to take several sections of the spiral apart, initially by leaning on them too heavily and once he realised it came apart pulling it deliberately. Only the frog goes down the inner tube and it makes a small sound...nothing too noisy that is until my little guy puts it in his mouth and breathes through it when it gets louder and more annoying. My little guy finds this toy immense fun, but it could be improved.Honest reviews on Kidoozie Super Spiral Play Tower
My 1 year old loves this toy. She loves putting the penguin and balls down the slide. However, her favorite part of the toy is the squeaking frog. But the problem is that the little button that releases the frog is REALLY hard to push. We had a 3 year old over tonight and she had a hard time pushing it too. So it is a great toy but it doesn't really lend itself to independent play if your child likes the frog.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kidoozie Super Spiral Play Tower
We decided on this ball toy because A) our son LOVES balls, B) it didn't require batteries, and C) it doesn't make noise. (We have enough toys that make noise, thank you very much.)The first thing I noticed is that the item we received was a bit different color-wise. Of course this doesn't hamper the use of the product at all, but just know that it might not look exactly like the picture. The ramp is not all yellow--it's half yellow and half orange. Me being the anal person that I am, it bothered me a bit because the bottommost piece is yellow and the topmost piece is yellow, so I couldn't make the top or bottom half all yellow. Oh well, I'll get over it.
I usually leave construction to hubby since I suck at it, but this was really very easy to snap together--pieces can only go in one place and there were only 11 pieces to put together, 10 of which were tower pieces.
This toy is rated for 18 months and up, but my 14-month old son enjoys it. (And we've always been told to get toys just a bit advanced for his age.) He's only been playing with a few days, but within the first 10 minutes he understood how to press the button to get the frog out, and within 20 minutes he knew how to put the frog in the top. We're still working on getting the balls onto the track, although he loves to set them on the top of the tube. I also like how the balls are shaped JUST differently enough that they each go into their respective columns at the end of the run.
So overall, we really like this toy, but:
1) I do wish it came with more than two balls, one penguin, and one frog. We do have other balls in the toybox that we can use, but they're just not quite the same.
2) It would be great if the frog also went down the track AND if the balls could go down the tube (my son is constantly putting them up there--but then, he also loves stacking).
3) My son (14 months) has no problems pushing the button to get the frog out, so for those that had trouble, maybe you just got a stickier version or maybe the kids just aren't strong enough?!
4) If you have a chewer, be prepared for the paint to come off the penguin beak pretty quickly. Yes, I speak from experience. :)
5) Beware that the penguin can get stuck under the frog door (your toddler will surely shove it in there) and it will take your futzing to get it out.
So, a solid four stars...and we're glad we got it.
