I wanna Ball Pit/Pool and Balls

gingerbud

I want to buy my niece a ball pit and balls for her 1st Birthday.

I did like the look of Fisher Price Ball O Saurus which is available from Argos for £19.95 - does anyone know if this one is any good? Also roughly how many bags of 100 balls would I need for this!?

Alternatively does anyone have any recommendations of one they have bought?

Thank you!

Asda and Tesco usually carry these type of things quite cheap. We have one bag of balls in our pool and that seems like plenty for my dd.

Thanks for your help - I will have a look there too!

Also thanks for the info on the number of balls!

We got my son his from the Early Learning Centre last year.... his has got cars over it... but they do a girly one!

They do girly balls too - in all different shades of pink

Also... there is a 'Big Birthday Club' that you can register for - they send you an email where you can print off a voucher for 20% off.

rather than just ballpits, find any paddling pool and it works just aswell. Tend to be cheaper too

I would agree with the comment about using any cheap blow up paddling pool, that is what I used for my DD.

However, I saw this in the new Argos catalogue the other day and thought it looked quite good.

Thanks so much for your response. Funnily enough I did see that one too and it was my original choice but then my OH convinced me the Dinosaur one was better! As I said this is for my niece and I dont have any children of my own so am a little out of my depth and out of touch with what is good and bad. Just wasn't sure if this was "fun" enough so your input has been a great help!
