Hog Wild Penguin Ball Popper Toy - Includes 4 Soft Foam Balls - Squeeze to Pop Air Powered Balls Up to 20 Feet - Launcher Safe for Indoor/Outdoor Play - Party Favor Gift for Kids, Girls, Boys Ages 5+

I hadn't purchased any of these popper in years. When I was still working, my nephew gave me one as a way to relieve frustration. When I was getting ready to retire, I purchased about 16 of them to give to coworkers in my department and to another with which I closely worked. They were all different critters. The balls are soft foam but not squishy at all. When you fire one, there is not enough air pressure to cause any discomfort should it hit a live target. I also don't think it can knock a knick-knack off a shelf and cause breakage. It's the perfect toy to relieve frustration and for play. Entertaining for a little one who can squeeze hard enough to release a ball and a source of pleasant devilry for the inner child of an adult. They are obviously more expensive than what I paid for them almost 13 years ago, but not exorbitantly so. I bought 2 of them, the penguin and the axolotl for my son and his wife for the purpose of playing with their fur babies. The balls are too small for play with dogs, but are perfect for cats.

Used these as a motivator in speech therapy sessions. They are a huge hit - kids of every age LOVE them. They work well and have held up to a lot of use so far.

I bought the Hog Wild Pig Ball Popper Toy on a whim, and I have to say, it's been a hit for both kids and adults alike! The concept is simple: squeeze the pig's belly, and the soft foam balls launch up to 20 feet! But there's something incredibly satisfying about how it works. The air-powered launch is surprisingly powerful, and it's just so much fun to see those foam balls shoot high into the air. We had a blast trying to aim them at targets, competing for distance, and even using it as a stress reliever during breaks from work! The toy is lightweight and safe, which makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. The soft foam balls are gentle enough that you don't have to worry about damaging anything, even in the house. Plus, it's easy to load and reload, so you can keep the fun going for hours. This is one of those toys that brings out the kid in all of us, and it's perfect for family fun, parties, or just some lighthearted competition. Whether you're aiming for targets, challenging friends, or just having a good laugh, the Hog Wild Pig Ball Popper is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Highly recommend it!

This is the cutest toy and the balls pop well from the penguin's nose/beak. Requires 2 hands for kids in therapy sessions and they are willing to play with this for many pops, so lots of opportunity for hand strengthening and eye-hand coordination. Just make sure they do not aim the penguin's nose/beak at anyone's face as it can have a powerful pop in strong hands and the ball may strike someone.

I love this toy! This is the second one I have bought. I’m a speech. Therapist and I use a lot of toys in my daily use. I love this dog toy and the unicorn version of this. It’s so much fun to work on teaching new words and easy for repetition. The colors are bright the toy holds up really well. I’ve had the unicorn version for three years and I still love it. The balls are small, so be sure to not to lose them. Lol. The only negative I could give is that when the ball is pushed all the way in sometimes it’s hard for your children to squeeze the toy to pop it out. But it’s a really great toy overall!

Wow, such enjoyment for my grandsons, age 3 and 5! Very inexpensive and they work as advertised!

Doesn’t have enough suction to pop the ball

My dog loves playing with it. The balls shoot far and come out fast. It's not meant for playing with dogs I don't think but she likes it. I already had to purchase more balls though. But they're cheap so it's ok.
