Review: Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop and Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price

Who Doesn't Love a Dinosaur in the Living Room?

Arthur Kirk
Fisher Price has made a lot of toys that use their Roll-a-Rounds, one of the more popular ones is the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price. This toy has it's appeal, but at the same time is lacking in some areas with balls getting stuck. For anyone that is not familiar with Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds, these are clear plastic balls that have characters, beads, or other small items inside. They are created to entertain your children as they play with them by being more than just a plain round ball. The Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price was designed to allow your child to use they Roll-a-Rounds that come with it, or ones they already have to add to the fun.

The biggest form of entertainment from the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price is for your child to drop their Roll-a-Rounds into one of the colored holes and watch the ball roll down the ramp on the dinosaur. There are four different holes that lead to four different ramps. To make it easy for your child these holes are color coded for the balls that come with the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price . As mentioned above though your child can use their other Roll-A-Rounds as well with the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price . One of the ramps even has the ball come out of the dinosaur's head. Unfortunately though this head pops off easily and requires you as a parent to reattach it on a regular basis. While the balls go through the holes and roll on the tracks the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price plays a combination of five different sounds and ten different songs. This along with the pre-historic theme of the Roll-a-Rounds included in the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price will keep your child entertained.

As I mentioned above there are manufacturing issues with this toy though. Again, the head of the dinosaur does pop off rather regularly. This can be frustrating for children, especially young toddlers which is the target audience for the toy. The other problem that can frustrate them is the center hole seems not to work correctly and the ball gets stuck in it almost every time. As a parent, one of my other complaints is that there is no storage compartment for the Roll-a-Rounds when you child is done playing with the toy. If you can overlook those design flaws, the Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Drop And Roar Dinosaur by Fisher Price will keep your child entertained.

  • comes with 4 pre-historic themed Roll-a-Rounds
  • The head popping off the dinosaur can actually scare young children.
  • The center hole rarely works on this toy, as the ball gets stuck.
The good news is the variety of sounds and music are a welcome break for us parents. No longer do we have to listen to the same three to five sounds with a toy.
