Win a Playskool Busy Ball Popper!
The Busy Ball Popper is one of those toys that should be in every playroom. My 18 month old son couldn’t get enough of it (as you can see!):
The balls pop, drop and roll. It’s a ton of fun! It’s air-powered, so the balls literally come popping out like popcorn. It’s hilarious… and so exciting so see your child having the time of his or her life.
*To enter to win, leave us a comment about your earliest or favorite Playskool memory.
Mine? I loved My Little Pony. I had Butterscotch and I remember taking her everywhere, and spending hours brushing her hair!
*Congrats to ERIN!*

my earliest Playskool memory is playing Hi Ho! Cherry-O and having my Mama tell me the cherries were for putting on the tree, not eating.
2 Donna // Oct 23, 2008 at 12:39 pm
My first memory is of Mr. Potato Head! I loved that. I bought one for my daughter last year, and it was like getting one all over again. For myself!
3 Kristine // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Mine too is Mr. Potato Head. I have to admit I had to google “vintage playskool” to see what toys I might have had as a kid that were Playskool. I do remember Hi Ho Cheery-O too. I just to play that with my great grandmother on Sunday afternoons. Those were great memories!
4 Heather // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I loved playing with Tinker Toys. I got some for my kids now and they love them just as much.
5 Shelli // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:28 pm
OMG! I love Playskool, all of it but my BEST memory is my son and his tryke bike, he had the old style 1996 version. He rode that sucker till the wheels fell off. It endured 2 solid years of hopping, jumping and 360’s with a toddler at the handlebars. Any wild driving a 16 yo boy with a first car could do, he did with that bike. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
6 stacey // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:38 pm
I don’t want to steal your memory but I loved My Little Pony also.
I do remember that for my 5th birthday my aunt got me a pink rabbit Keyper and I was SO excited. Don’t think they make those anymore but they sure were fun. Thanks for the entry!
7 Elizabeth M. // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I remember playing with Playskool Play-doh at the kitchen table with my sister and brothers and it was always a big, exciting event. My mom was a clean freak so when she let us get Play-doh out it was big time fun!
8 kira // Oct 23, 2008 at 1:55 pm
I LOVED my glow worm!!!
9 Katie Stacey // Oct 23, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I love Hi-Ho Cherry-O. We used to play it all the time growing up along with Candy Land. I can’t wait until my little one is old enough to play these games with me!
10 Stacy // Oct 23, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I cant really remember but love all the toy for my son. Sometimes I think I am having more fun then him.

my mind immediately thought of the little wooden cobbler’s bench! I took someone’s suggestion though and went to google and found Dressy Bessy, I LOVED that doll. And Lincoln Logs. My grandmother had Lincoln Logs at her house and always looked forward to playing with them…but my brother use to hog all the roof pieces and I could never finish my houses…..
12 Theresa // Oct 24, 2008 at 8:38 am

14 Jen // Oct 24, 2008 at 8:52 am
It’s funny you mention my little pony, not only are my fondest memories of playing with my ponies in my pony castle! I still have all the original ponies and castle and accessories, I take them out and let my friends girls play with them once in a while when they visit, it’s so nostalgic seeing them enjoying them as I did.
15 Omayra // Oct 24, 2008 at 8:58 am
My earliest playskool memory was Mr. Potatoe head, I remember after we lost all the pieces to it, my sister and I would pretend that it was a baked chicken!
16 April // Oct 24, 2008 at 9:06 am
I vividly remember my Mr. Potato Head. I’m so glad that Playskool still makes them - especially in the collectors editions like the Darth Vader one!
17 nancy // Oct 24, 2008 at 9:23 am
My earliest memory was Mr. Potato Head
18 Betty R.~ simply southern // Oct 24, 2008 at 9:28 am
Some of my favorite memories would be the Glo Worms.I thought they were just the cutest things when i started buying them for my kids.Now my grands enjoy them.It is some of the sweet flashbacks to see the same toys in their hands i placed in their mom and dad’s hands 20+ years ago..
enter me please,my grandson’s would enjoy this!
19 Veronica Szymankiewicz // Oct 24, 2008 at 10:03 am
My earliest memories of Playskool toys would have to be of Mr. Potato Head and the Gloworms. I remember sitting on the floor playing with Mr. Potato Head, changing up the pieces, and I also remember the unique and very strong plastic smell that the toy had. At night, I would sleep with my glo worm, and all was right with the world. Thank you.
20 Ginny // Oct 24, 2008 at 10:55 am
Mine is my little pony as well. I had Blossom and just loved playing with them! I still have almost all of mine, my daughter is mad because I won’t let her play with them, lol. That may sound mean, but she has a huge rubbermaid container of her own!
21 Deanne // Oct 24, 2008 at 10:56 am
M y favorite memory is with the The Step Start Walk and Ride. My son (10 months old at the time), took hold of the handle and walked for the first time! He walked clear across the room, squealing and laughing the whole time. He couldn’t get enough of “walking” and played with it all the time . It was just so cool to see my little baby grab hold and turn into a little boy WALKING across the room (tears&smiles)!
22 Maquel // Oct 24, 2008 at 11:15 am
I remember my first grade teacher taking away the “My Little Pony” I had snuck into class with me.
23 Carly // Oct 24, 2008 at 11:42 am
I loved my gloworm; even when she sisnt glow anymore. I took her everywhere with me!
24 naomi // Oct 24, 2008 at 11:56 am
I coveted my neighbor’s Sit & Spin…
25 Vanessa C. // Oct 24, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Mine has to be ‘My Little Pony’ as well. I loved them! Me and my twin sis had a few between us and I remember she would always draw on mine!
26 Jessica McGhee // Oct 24, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Definitly Mr. Potato Head…I wanted to marry him!
27 pamr // Oct 24, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I had a my little pony too, with a castle; I wish I had kept it for my daughter! Thanks for the contest!
28 Erin // Oct 24, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I loved My Little Pony, too, and my earliest memory was finding out that My Little Pony and the bathtub didn’t mix when one of my ponies started to smell a little off due to bathwater that had gotten trapped!
29 Miche // Oct 24, 2008 at 6:40 pm
I loved My Little Pony-every quarter I earned doing chores went to buying another one. I saved enough to the the nursery and castle and a ton of ponies. I loved my wedding day pony that I got from saving up codes from other ponies I had bought. And yes, I still have them all and really hope one day to pass them on to a daughter or granddaughter, as I am pretty sure my ponies would become cannon fodder to my boy….lol!
30 SEmbree // Oct 24, 2008 at 9:08 pm
My favorite Playskool toy is Mr. Potato Head. We loved to play and use our imaginations and we came up with some wild Mr. Potato Head. Some of my doll hats fit him. What a neat toy!
Thank you for offering another great Playskool toy.
31 Barbara Cafarelli // Oct 24, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I remember having Mr. Potato Head that you had to use a real potato and stick the parts into it. We had a ball with that. Then we had the Tinkertoys and what magical things we could create with those . As for this giveaway my little guy just loves things he can put things into .. This is the perfect age toy for him. He will love it.. Thanks for the chance to win. If not we might just have to buy one for him for Christmas.
32 Andrea // Oct 25, 2008 at 12:54 am
Ah yes…the playdough - we DEFINITELY played with that a LOT as kids!!
33 Valerie Mitchell // Oct 25, 2008 at 1:48 am
Playdough fun factory - loved that thing!
34 Carol // Oct 25, 2008 at 8:19 am
I remember lots of toys, but my favorite has to be my green Glo-Worm. My mom has to give it a sponge bath because I carried him everywhere.
35 KATHY D // Oct 25, 2008 at 8:35 am
I think the was from them when I was I kid I had a boat and the three men in a tub… It was a great tub toy…. But my sister always wanted a Glo Worm and my mom says she was to old,,, So my sister did get one but not till she had her fisrt child she bought it for her daughters second Christmas…. isn’t that the best part of kids playing with toys again as an adult
36 jennefer sweitzer // Oct 25, 2008 at 9:00 am

37 Sandy // Oct 25, 2008 at 9:28 am

38 Melissa B. // Oct 25, 2008 at 9:50 am
I remember the Play-doh very well. I had the Barber Shop, where the hair would ‘grow’ and you could cut it and style it.
39 ky2here // Oct 25, 2008 at 9:52 am
I don’t remember exactly what it was but I had this little plastic wagon that I wouldn’t part with. Other kids had their security blanket, I needed that wagon.
40 Zoe Lee // Oct 25, 2008 at 10:19 am

I remember myself and then my kids loving Play-Doh!
43 TheAngelForever // Oct 25, 2008 at 10:49 am
I remember spending hours with my Mr. Potato Head. Of course that was back in the dark ages when they were simple and not so many options. I laugh when my son has the entire potato family.
44 Deanna // Oct 25, 2008 at 11:26 am
I was always trying to play with my older brothers cause they were so cool
I would play GI Joes with them all the time. We would army crawl with shirts on our heads. I never was very good at the sound effects though so one of my brothers would make them for me. I think I was about 3.
45 D. Martin // Oct 25, 2008 at 11:43 am
My earliest and favorite Playskool memory is playing with play dough!
46 BabyCenter: MOMformation » Blog Archive » Giveaways galore! // Oct 25, 2008 at 11:48 am
[…] Mom Generations is a giving away a Playskool Busy Ball Popper. Noise aside (I hope it has volume control), it is a toy that would have been a huge hit when Smartypants was a toddler. […]

54 Andrew Gordon // Oct 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm
i remember having an easel to do drawings on.
55 Sky // Oct 25, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Mr. Potatohead…OMG, I played and played with that thing. For some reason I remember my Mr. Potatohead dressed up like a Fireman. Then I’d put those yellow rectangle glasses on him. (There is a picture of me where I’m wearing them!) and he’s be smoking his pipe. Back in the days…eh!
56 Jennifer august // Oct 25, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Man, playdoh was the only thing we could have because it was the only “consumable” item that did not need to get stored or taken care of.
Now that I have two little ones, I understand why. I have no room- and if it gets lost.broken.used.etc- it cost 2$ to replace!
57 Michelle // Oct 25, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Hi Ho Cherry-o all the way. I wanted to play that game all the time. As a parent now I can only imagine how wearing that must have been on my parents. Oh many times can you play one game over and over…
58 Tania // Oct 25, 2008 at 4:37 pm
My first memory is on the swings with the wind in my hair and my mom and dad pushing me as I just enjoyed myself!!

64 Linda Amerman // Oct 25, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Earliest Playskool memory is Play-Doh. we would mix the colors together and it would create an ugly greyish brown color.

75 Jennifer Vergin // Oct 25, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I have a horrible memory, but I am trying to hom my son create memories she can’t forget!
76 Jessica // Oct 26, 2008 at 12:10 am
I had what I called a “popcorn popper”. I was a toy you could push around and the balls would pop up and down. I could do that for hours.
77 Nadia // Oct 26, 2008 at 12:18 am

Definitely Mr. Potato Head. I had one and my kids too!
81 Lori Hilts // Oct 26, 2008 at 7:21 am
I had one of those phones that you pulled on a string. The eyes would roll up and down and it used to make a noise (very annoying to my Mom at the time!) I wonder if kids today would even know what that kind of a phone is??
82 Carol G // Oct 26, 2008 at 9:09 am
I can’t remember the exact name, but both my girls loved any earlier form of ball popper, one that was pushed or pulled. Drove me crazy but it was a great toy!
83 Nanette Olson // Oct 26, 2008 at 9:54 am
I loved playing with Play Doh with my children. We had so much fun sculpting all sorts of things.
84 beth shepherd // Oct 26, 2008 at 10:08 am

I loved my little pony. My mom pulled out all my old toys last weekend for my daughter while we were at my grandparents house and she was amazed that I had my little pony too when I was young. I’d love to win the ball popper for my son and I’d save it for Christmas!!

103 Chrysa // Oct 27, 2008 at 12:01 am
I was totally into Tinker Toys as a kid. I would play with them for hours.
104 Brooke Allen // Oct 27, 2008 at 2:46 am
This is a great toy. My little boy got one for his birthday last year but we lost it in a fire.
My earliest toy memory was playing with the Tree Tot Treehouse. I loved playing with them in my room.
105 Suzie G // Oct 27, 2008 at 3:01 am
My favorite Playskool memory is when we bought my daughter the Weebles Treehouse for her first birthday. It was the first toy that she really took a liking to and she played with it every day! Another commenter here reminded me of Sit n Spin and that’s another favorite of mine. The newer ones these days don’t spin nearly as well as the old ones though.
106 Sue // Oct 27, 2008 at 9:16 am
My first memory would be of Mr. Potato Head. I played with lots of PlayDoh also, had the Barber Shop.
107 Sandra Chapin // Oct 27, 2008 at 12:15 pm

108 Tamara B. // Oct 27, 2008 at 12:31 pm
My earliest memory of Playschool is the white plane with the little people you could take out. And them of course Mr. Potato head he was my favorite.
109 April // Oct 27, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I remember I had one of those Playschool phones with the eyes that rolled up and down when you pulled it. I would drag that thing all over the house with me.
110 Jackie // Oct 27, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I loved my mr. potato head. There are so many amazing memories of playskool I have from growing up!
111 Jennifer // Oct 27, 2008 at 2:49 pm
My earliest memory with Playskool was stuffing my hamster down the “dungeon” trap in the Playskool castle. Poor little hamster. Don’t worry, we were able to lift the little yellow gate and get him out again.
112 michelle maddock // Oct 27, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I guess it would be Mr. potato head and Iv’e bought my grandaughter one for her birthday its amazing how wre still playing with the same thing.
113 Heather B // Oct 27, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Mr Potato Head
114 Jennifer M // Oct 27, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Sit N Spin. Eventually we tried standing on it, we made it into a merry-go-round for our dolls, and anything else we could think of.
115 Donna C. // Oct 27, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Got to be Legos.
116 Erin Daly // Oct 27, 2008 at 7:43 pm
My earliest Playskool memory is the Mr. Potato Head that my brother and I shared. I loved all the noses and eyes that he came with. I bet I would still have fun playing with one as an adult!
117 Vicky Boackle // Oct 27, 2008 at 7:48 pm

121 Brenda Howard // Oct 28, 2008 at 12:25 am
I think my daughters both loved the sit and spin, was I was also thinking abouth that annoying little push toy that has colorful balls that pop, that they would play with non stop, not sure if playskool though
122 tracey // Oct 28, 2008 at 12:42 am
Yea, I remember Mr. Potato Head.I wish I could have played with all the cool stuff my kids loved! One of my sons had a serious fascination with his sit and spin too, made me dizzy to watch him!
123 Karen Rennirt // Oct 28, 2008 at 12:47 am
My first that I can remember was also Mr. Potato Head. Me and my sister used to fight over him.
124 Erma Hurtt // Oct 28, 2008 at 7:17 am
I remember playing with Playskool Play-doh at the kitchen table.
125 Christine // Oct 28, 2008 at 10:08 am

126 P. Harmon // Oct 28, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I remember I had a Playskool lap desk, with a chalkboard, magnetic letters and you could lift it up and store your chalk and magnet letters inside.
127 Rachel Belkin // Oct 28, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Thanks for offering this contest. Hope we win. my son loves the ball popper
128 Diana Corlett // Oct 28, 2008 at 3:14 pm
That’s asking me to remember back a loooong way. There weren’t really a lot of toys around our house…but I do recall playing with Lincoln Logs. My children, however, had lots of Playskool toys, for example, the huge collection of My Little Ponies that belonged to my youngest daughter.
129 Stasie Tillman // Oct 28, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I definitely loved playing with all the colors that would mold into one big mound of brown play doh…or otherwise ended up in my mouth…I don’t know why it was soo salty and appealing in kindergarten…haha!
130 Jennifer Jozwiak // Oct 28, 2008 at 4:35 pm
I loved playing with the the thing you could push around and had the little dome with the different colored balls inside. It was so fun to hear them pop when you were pushing it.
131 Sherry R // Oct 28, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I used to love the FP little people - I had the house, the town, the parking garage and the Merry-Go-Round, but I always wanted the castle!

My sisters and I were only born a few years apart, so we always played together. One year for christmas my parents got us a kitchen set with dishes and fake food, and a cash register with plastic money. We would play house and store.

We had a little bench with pegs you could pound in. Hours of fun at that little bench.

I remember playing with Tinker Toys all the time when I was little- I loved making all kinds of structures with them and what even better is my sister wasn’t into them so I didn’t have to share!

I love Play-Doh….but I always got in trouble for eating it.
My first memory of Playskool Play-doh is actually really gross. I was about four, and I had to go to the potty. When it came out, it was blue from where I had eaten so much play-doh. I freaked out, and thought I was dying, and ran and told my grandmother to call 911. She laughed at me, and walked away saying ‘I told you to stop eating that stuff!’

My mind immediately thought of the little wooden cobbler’s bench! Thanks!!

I loved Tinker Toys! They were so much fun for a kid with an overactive imagination!
139 Helen // Oct 28, 2008 at 11:44 pm
I remember playing with the Play-doh Fun Factory and pretending to make pasta.
140 Timothy Sternberg // Oct 29, 2008 at 1:05 am
My first memory is of Mr. Potato Head!
141 Roxann // Oct 29, 2008 at 6:13 am
My earliest memory is the popcorn popper push toy. I really liked it a lot with all the balls popping and making noise.

The Playschol tryke was a great, we would push each other around to see who could get on there first to ride each day.

My daughter’s 1st birthday and her presents.

My sons loved the Sit N Spin and would take turns trying to go the fastest or the longest. It was a great play item for rainy days.
146 Jennifer M // Oct 29, 2008 at 9:08 am
I loved my Mr. Potato Head, he was so silly looking.
147 Lily Kwan // Oct 29, 2008 at 9:50 am
I loved playing with Mr. Potato Head!
148 Carole // Oct 29, 2008 at 10:13 am
As a toddler I wasn’t fortunate enough to have Playskool toys but I do remember later on having a Mr. Potato Head and making him look as goofy as possible!
149 Laura G // Oct 29, 2008 at 10:29 am
Mr Potato Head rocked for me! And still does for my kiddos
150 Kari Follett // Oct 29, 2008 at 10:40 am

My grandma had a sit & spin at her house and I remember zooming into the kitchen (where she had it located) and spinning for hours on it. Or at least it seemed like hours.

my daughter had a little ride on toy that she rode so much she wore out the wheels

My first and favorite board game to this day is Candyland, but my girls have the DVD version so it is twice the fun!
155 judy brittle // Oct 29, 2008 at 11:53 am
Just like most it is for sure Mr. Potato Head. What could be more fun than creating all different kinds of faces. Thank you so much!
156 Jen // Oct 29, 2008 at 11:53 am
I loved the popcorn popper toy!

I love Lincoln Logs more than anything when I was a child. I would build houses for my dolls and forts for my brothers cowboys & indians! I wish they were still as popular because they hurt way less than Legos when you step on them!
158 Tonia Rowe // Oct 29, 2008 at 12:23 pm
My fuzzy pumper playdoh haircutting salon! It was terrific!
159 Robin H // Oct 29, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Weren’t all toys back in the 80’s Playskool?
At least that’s the way I remember it i’ve had the my little pony, the popcorn popper push toy (drove my parents nuts with it), Mr. Potato Head, Playdough etc…..
My earliest one would have to be Mr. Potato Head though, it was my sisters toy and I was always running off with it because it was so much fun changing around his face.
160 kathy // Oct 29, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I bough a lot of playskool toys for my children. I remember my oldest son spending hours hammering on his carpenter set.
161 debra // Oct 29, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I loved Mr. Potato Head and Playdough (which for some reason I sometimes ate along with my little play friends….)
162 Heather // Oct 29, 2008 at 4:01 pm
What a cute video. Thanks for sharing! My kids love Mr Potato Head (especially the Star Wars Mr Potato Head) and play-do!
163 Bonnie Gee // Oct 29, 2008 at 4:20 pm
My new grand-daughter would love this.

My Mr. Potato Head
167 sito // Oct 29, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Actually my first Playskool memory is of this item. I would push it around behind my dad as he cut the grass, pretending I was helping him.
168 Paula // Oct 29, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I remember playing with my brothers TinkerToys when I was around 3 years old, and of course the PlayDoh is another one I remember.
169 Rose Fisher // Oct 29, 2008 at 6:54 pm
My favorite memory would be with my Mr. Potato Head. I would play for hours!
170 Karen // Oct 29, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Sit n Spin was the best—hands down!

Mr Potato Head rocks !
172 Suanne Giddings // Oct 29, 2008 at 11:41 pm
My first memory is of Mr. Potato Head! I loved that little guy! I also used styrofoam because the potatoes, apples, etc. got too expensive as much as I played with him. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

175 Callista // Nov 4, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Hmm I played with lots of potato head and My little pony. My daughters have both of those now! I really want this ball toy for my kids!

I came across this website looking for the Playskool chalkboard/desk from 1979 or so (See comment 47 above). I want to buy this for my grandchild because it was a great toy ( I became a kindergarten teacher after I was a mom of 3, and this was a wonderful educational toy). I like the lid lifting up to keep the magnetic letters inside (because kids love to put things in and out of places). I like the chalkboard for writing skills. Best of all — no electronic music, flashing screens, or videos to distract the child from what is important — playing and using her/his imagination. Where can I find this desk?
