Your baby pushes the corn popper as he walks, causing plastic balls to pop around inside the toy. Helps build gross motor skills, sensory skills and cause-and-effect lessons. Intended for children ages 12 to 36 months. No batteries needed.

It is loud, and there's no way to turn off the sound. The wheels may not turn freely, so the balls won't "pop".
