After reading these reviews, I rushed right out and bought this set for my 17 mo. old, who has recently developed an interest in sports and physical activities. As a 10 yr. veteran preschool teacher, I have never seen a toddler get interested in bowling, and my son was no different. Of all the toys--soccer goal, basketball, t-ball, this was the only one that he won't go near. I understand why this activity may not appeal to toddlers. It simply takes too much time to set up all 6 pins, then walk a distance and roll the ball, only to have to set up all 6 pins again...over and over and over. It's difficult for them to coordinate setting the pins up in the first place without knocking the others over and all of this simply takes too long for their short attention spans. I am hoping that he will grow into it. I am really disappointed that my son is not interested in this set, especially since it was more costly than other ones I've seen. Yet, I can't totally rate the set based on my son's lack of interest - as the pins are very durable, the bowling ball is the perfect size for little hands, and the internal balls inside the pins are a neat/unique addition. Just be warned: Although this toy is marketed for toddlers and called "Tot Sports Bowling Set," older kids in the 3+ range will probably have more fun with it. If you would like to "experiment" to see if your toddler will be interested in bowling, I highly recommend purchasing a MUCH cheaper set before spending this much money. On the other hand, if you come from a family of bowlers and want to buy a durable set a little early and plan on spending hours with your kiddo practicing, I highly recommend this one. Hope this helps! Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
