Bright Starts

Explore & Roar Activity Jumper

Fun Comes First!™ It's bouncing, ball popping and jaw-dropping action for baby! The Having a Ball™ Explore & Roar Activity Jumper from Bright Starts™ is loaded with playtime activities full of laugh-out-loud surprises. Moms love the space-saving design that fits perfectly in the corner of your room and transports easily. But don’t let the space-saving design fool you – this entertainer is still loaded with activities! The removable lion station features 3 modes of fun: melodies, learning, and piano sounds. Spin the lion's mane and watch the balls jump and spin. Press down on the monkey to launch a ball up the palm tree's trunk. Baby will love to watch balls bounce around inside spinning globes. And as if that's not enough, there's a frog bead chaser, a giraffe that holds a self-discovery mirror, spinner ball, teether, and 3 link loops for adding even more toys! Simple to use height adjustments make growing with baby easy. Seat rotates 360 degrees so baby can reach all the action. Three toy stations remove for extended playtime and makes cleaning easy.

Let's Have a Ball!

The design of this entertainer was inspired by the Having a Ball line of toddler toys that was created by the Toy Division.  Each of those toys included some sort of fun and unique ball play action.  As a result, my goal was to try and include as many unique ball play toys to fill up the whole table top.  Originally, I wanted to have a large ball shoot that would launch character balls from one side to the other.  However, we quickly learned that the engineering was complicated and the cost would put us way over budget. Nevertheless, I still managed to include quite a bit of unique ball actions in the final design.

Lots of fun interactive toys

When it comes to designing for an infant entertainer, the goal is to always create as many unique toys with interactive play patterns as possible.  In addition, I always try to include age-appropriate, tried, and true features, such as mirrors, rattles, teethers, and spinners, with every platform.
