Product Review: Ball Pit
Did you know that many teachers and parents refer to Ball Pits as Germ Pits? Maybe that's why most McPlaylands and indoor playgrounds have removed them. But no matter how filthy those bright spheres of plastic get, kids love to dive into them...over and over and over again. And since Beloved Offspring #2 is "gravitationally insecure" according to her physical therapist, Beloved Offspring #3 is a daredevil, and Beloved Offspring #1 is a four-year-old boy with boundless energy, we got them an inflatable Little Tykes Cozy Cottage Ball Pit. In all fairness to the Little Tykes company, the product was adorable and did exactly what it was supposed to do...but only for three months. Then the incessant diving and climbing in and out got the better of the poor vinyl thing and it leaked air, drooping sadly and looking very much like my beloved offspring had beaten it up...or down. Actually, it lasted two months longer than I expected!
