Update in July: I have tried this and it’s not that easy for my little ones. I think this was a relatively cheap purchase, luckily. They do better with tossing it almost rather than trying to “flick” at it. I do like that this has a fine motor component as well as a visual motor component, having to precisely put the pieces up without knocking them all over, eyeing and projecting where your ball will go to hit the pieces, etc.
