This adorable pig launches soft foam balls! Squeeze the pig's belly to launch the soft foam flying balls. You'll have fun seeing who can shoot them further, the harder you squeeze the further they go. The Pig Popper is air powered and safe for both indoor and outdoor play. Includes six soft foam balls and convenient carry net. Works with all Power Popper refills.
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 4 years of age.

"We used this item in a special education classroom as a fidget toy to relieve the need to move. We have also used it as an incentive for work completion. The students have used it for competition to see who can shoot the most balls into the basket from a set distance. It encourages turn taking, fair play, and social skills."

"It's good for fine motor skills, hand and finger strengthening, tracking, eye-hand coordination. You can use it as a fun way to count, (how many times they shoot out the balls) for visually tracking to hit a target, or have them shoot the ball at letters or numbers and then identify the letter or number they hit. They can try to get the balls in a targeted area. There are so many ways to make it therapeutic and educational."
I'm using this toy with students to burn off excess energy. It's a good incentive for a short break for special ed students when they've completed a task. We use it with a target such as a basket so that they have something neutral to aim at.
This silly toy is a blast! My employees had so much fun using it at a team meeting - they were fighting over who would get to use it next.
I wouldn't recommend using it near young children or pets who could swallow the balls.
Review for Pig Popper

I liked this toy because as a therapist I am always looking for items that cover a wide area of treatment, but is also fun. This works on fine motor skills, hand and finger strengthening. As well as tracking and eye hand coordination, but it also makes therapy fun. The Pig and the Dog are cute, the balls are colorful, and the item is easy to use.
