It is entertaining by itself. My grandson got in it right away and started to wobble in it. He put his Mickey Mouse and Minnie in it and started to push them around in it. He wanted me to spin him around in it ("but not too fast".) I think this will be a toy that the grandkids will play with for many years - lots of ideas for them to use it for. It's a simple toy but its fun. It helps them burn off some energy. I like the grooves on the sides which helps them hold on.
