Hog WildPenguin Ball Popper Toy - Christmas Stocking Stuffer Includes 4 Soft Foam Balls - Squeeze to Pop Air Powered Balls Up to 20 Feet - Safe for Indoor/Outdoor Play - Gift for Kids, Girls, Boys

Cute and fun toy for young kids, parents and grandparents. Won't hurt people or damage things "rapid fire" at anyone, so isn't overwhelming to younger kids. You can make up a target game, too. You'll need to buy at least two poppers to have a battle!HOWEVER - Just be certain to pick up the balls so animals or very young children in the household won't chew them or swallow them. They could easily be harmful in that way. Otherwise, just a fun toy!The picture shows a little bag, but there was no bag in the package. We bought 6 different poppers for Christmas fun, and none had bags for the balls. That would have been a nice touch.

Ridiculously fun little toy. Bought it for a 5 year old, but the 7 and 13 year olds were clamoring for a turn with it as well. Delightfully simple and easy to use. Even the 18 month old liked it; though she couldn't squeeze enough to pop the ball out, she enjoyed chasing the balls down and putting them back in the penguin's mouth. Nice inexpensive fun gift.

Cute, very fun toy helps with grip and strength.

These animal poppers seemed like they would be lots of fun. I put one in each of my kids' Easter baskets (they are aged 11, 9 and 6). The kids loved them for the first day or two but now I rarely see them. I think they would be great at a birthday party for immediate use but I don't think they are good as a long term toy. I bought the squirrel, the penguin and the unicorn. The penguin and the squirrel pop better and further than the unicorn. I think that is because the unicorn must be squeezed from side to side, rather than front to back. If you are debating which animal to choose, I would look for an animal that you squeeze front to back. Also the squirrel design has hands on the belly which sort of impede the squeezing process. Out of the three I purchased, the penguin is the easiest to squeeze and pops the furthest, probably because he has a nice open belly to squeeze. I am glad I chose three designs with three different balls, this eliminated the fighting over who had what ball. The penguin is shown with a mesh sack but I did not receive one.

I think I enjoyed this more than the 2 1/2 year old I bought it for. Still a little too young to understand lol but I had an amazing time hitting people with it! Pretty strong! Definitely pops! Shoots long distance!

These are fun! But be careful where you are aiming, they are super powerful! My son was about 4 feet from the wall, & it left a dent in the wall where the ball hit. Little kids may need to use 2 hands to squeeze the belly of the toy. Overall, super fun. Great product.

I bought this and the unicorn popper as stocking stuffers for my husband and I, and it's been a battleground ever since. Balls are strewn about the living room and bedroom. The sounds of loud popping triggers PTSD of being shot in the face while innocently reading in bed. The smell... the smell of vinyl...But seriously, we've been having so much fun with these things. It gives such a nice, satisfying little pop! I think the only real issue I have is with the smell. That really strong, potent, vinyl smell. I think it's aired out since we took them out of the packages, though, so there is that. If you're not afraid of getting shot in the face, this is a purchase I'd recommend!Ah, oh... and to those curious, it doesn't actually -hurt- if you get shot close range in the face. ...depending on the person's hand strength. But it might sting a little!

Make a decent gag gift for 10-12 year old girls. The balls do fly pretty far but are soft light foam so it doesn't hurt anyone or anything
