I was looking for a gift for my niece’s first birthday and wanted something unique and educational. I found this Melissa and Doug Turtle ball pit and fell in love. It encourages early childhood development in three key skill areas: physical, cognitive, and social. Further, it has a plush design that your little one can play in or climb on. As always, Melissa and Doug’s travel-ready turtle ball pit holds up to the company’s commitment to cute, high-quality, educational toys.
I reviewed sports-related indoor toys so my toddler could actively play inside on those rainy days without destroying my house. I came across the Little Tykes Slam Dunk Big Ball Pit and loved the design. Firstly, it’s perfect for indoor play and quickly inflates so your toddler can bounce around inside. Secondly, its 3-in-1 design can be used as a bouncer, ball pit, and basketball. Lastly, there’s an easy access crawl-through, so your child can safely enter and exit during playtime.

Baby Ball Pit & Activity Gym Combo
The Infantino baby ball pit and activity gym combination is a great toy that offers versatility and multiple play options. I always love to find a multi-functional product that can grow as the child grows. With this, your little one can use it from infant to toddler stages. Further, this baby ball pit quickly transforms from a baby activity gym to a ball pit, and it’s easily packed away with the adorable storage sloth. With toys of different shapes, colors, and textures for motor skills development and sensory play, a linkable teether, and 40 play balls, your infant or toddler will have hours of playtime!
The memory foam ball pit is an excellent design for your toddler. Made from high-quality memory foam, non-toxic, and BPA-free, it’s cushy and safe, so you won’t have to worry about your little one getting hurt during playtime. In addition, the soft fleece material has a zippered design, allowing for easy cleaning by removing the outer lining.

Further, the gate height of 25 inches, along with the pull-up rings, are perfect for learning to stand. Lastly, the mesh basketball hoop and soccer nets at the ends encourages active play for your toddler. Just be aware that it doesn’t come with balls, so you’ll need to pick up a pack or two of them.
If you’re looking for a unique and multi-use ball pit for your toddler, I recommend this ball pit and kiddie pool combination toy. Your toddler will have hours of fun swimming in the pool or playing in the ball pit. Even better, you can combine both by adding the balls to pool time.

Not only is it large enough for multiple children to use, but it also encourages group play and problem-solving skills with its maze-like design. You can rearrange and add sections to increase outdoor and group play size or remove tunnels or tents for more compact indoor play.
Ocean-Themed Tunnel, Tent, & Ball Pit
This toy is an excellent option for any little ones learning to crawl or for toddlers who love to explore. Firstly, separate ball pit areas are attached between two tunnels, and one of the open ball pits includes a hoop for coordinated ball play. Secondly, it’s made with a durable mesh material, so you can easily unfold and set up, or fold and store, the tents and tunnels within minutes.
The 6-sided ball pit makes an excellent alternative to a playpen for your little movers. The 6-sided tent includes roll-up doors for older toddlers to enter and exit as they want. In addition, the windowed mesh sides allow you to observe your toddler’s playtime, and when done, you can easily wipe everything clean. Further, it pops up quickly, folds down easily, and fits into a small zippered bag for easy storage.
My child loves their hearts & starlights ball pit and tent toy, and so do I! Firstly, it stores easily, but also fits the bedroom’s decor when we do leave it up. Secondly, if you want to keep any toys and ball pit balls inside the tent, the front flap can be untied and lowered. Lastly, the string of star lights that come included add a nice glow during the evening. We use it as a night light until my child falls asleep.

Sorry y’all, I know I’m a bit tardy to the party. But better late than never! If you’re a fan of the Borderlands series, you’re familiar with Tiny Tina. She became a fan favorite in Borderlands 2 and her DLC: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep. Tiny Tina’s Wonderland is an expansion on the idea of her playing their version of Dungeons and Dragons into a full-blown game. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up my controller, but what I got was WAY more D&D than I expected and I must say, they made it work.
The in-world D&D, called Bunkers & Badasses, is a welcome addition to the Borderlands formula. Here are still the tons upon tons of unique guns to find and added are magic spells and new class abilities. Crafting your character felt truly in-depth for the first time in the series. Seriously, I took about an hour just rolling up my character. The magic helps vary up the different play styles especially with bullet sponge bosses. It keeps things from getting old too quickly, but that also depends on which class you decide to roll up. Unfortunately, some classes are a little underwhelming and a little boring. Even so, it’s varied enough to want to try them all and figure out which one works best for you. Yes, it’s a bit basic, but I really enjoyed the Spellshot + Graveborn combination.
Another new addition is the tabletop style overworld. It’s fun to see your little character figure running around the map littered in cheesy puffs and empty soda cans. It shakes up the formula of “Go here, talk to them, kills tons of people” but not by much. Of course the standard Borderlands formula is definitely still here and strong, for better or for worse. And even though the story itself isn’t anything to write home about, it’s the humor that keeps the whole thing from sinking.
Returning for the titular Tiny Tina is Ashly Burch and she is as funny as ever. The way she plays this manic, yet lovable character has me in awe. As for newcomers, there’s Will Arnett as the BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy) Dragon Lord, Wanda Sykes is the battle hungry Frette, and Andy Samberg as the dorky but earnest Valentine. Everyone really brings their acting chops to the forefront in Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. The absurdist comedy and geeky culture references wouldn’t work if it wasn’t for the delivery of these comedy veterans. Honestly, I love the humor…but I also understand it’s not for everyone.
Even with all the additions and changes, this is still very much firmly a Borderlands game. And whether or not that’s a good thing depends entirely on the player. The writing is still that Borderlands humor, there are still thousands of randomly generated guns with crazy perks to hunt for, and even with magic the gameplay is very much the same. You go from place-to-place fighting ever stronger enemies that level with you and at 20+ hours, it can get a little monotonous.
If you’re a long-time fan of Borderlands and are still enjoying the series, I think you’ll love it. Finding that right character class you love and getting that rare drop will still give you the rush of endorphins you’re looking for. Along with that, there’s enough new additions and humor you’ve come to love to scratch the Borderlands itch. Big however though, if you’ve been waning or have completely fallen off the psycho hype train, this isn’t the game that’ll get you back on the pandoracorn. And if you don’t like Tiny Tina, then Tiny Tina’s Wonderland definitely isn’t the one for you.
