A couple hundred to make a decent one. I have don't have enough cover the bottom and I probably have around 50 in mine. My kids don't care. They have a blast in this. I can fit 4 kids in there!

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

My daughter-in-law used a similar size pool (round) and filled it with plastic balls and I want to say she used about 100-200, of you want to fill it up. Her pool was a little smaller now that I think about it. Fun for her 3 little boys and friends.

2-3 18 mth old tops. We use it for a ball pit and for that I think 2 toddlers are the max.

We used 6 bags of sand. This sandbox is quite expensive for what it is... I doubt I would another one.

I got the Estonepidural 5.5cm balls. They are a little bit smaller than the ones that came with the ball pit but I didn't see it as a big deal. I ordered 200 additional balls. Make sure you count them when they arrive. They are delivered in a huge envelope but they're loose inside. I ended up being short 20 balls. They sent me the missing pieces as soon as I contacted them.

I use my for a ball pit that has 1,800 balls in it and I have had four little ones in there playing with plenty of room. But swimming maybe a whole different story.

The ball pit is 27 in by 43 in. However, the ball pit was the first thing to tear. My daughter is only 1... so you can imagine that it didn't take too much wear and tear for it to brake.

a dozen, it's just a new shaped box for balls. I have to say for the price, they are decent balls to play with when your game is in a slump and u can't keep them out of the bushes or lakes! It's not like you just lost a ProV1, 1st time u hit it!!!

600. That is the recommended amount, and that recommendation was exactly correct. My one-year-old grand-daughter loves the ball pit. So does my three-year-old grand-daughter. Recommend purchasing the foam alphabet/numbers mat to go under the pit for safety's sake.

Yes, but you will be limited to the number of balls you can put in, due to the opening for a child to crawl in. Our plan is to turn ours into a ball pit as well, if I can ever find the balls cheap enough.

I agree! The ball pit area on the right side is about 3x3. You can also use that side as a wading pool.

Start with 400. This pool turned out to be smaller than the previous one I had and so the balls I had filled it too high.

200 Is A Great Amount For One of The Small Size Plastic Pools (One That Is About 3 - 4 Feet Across)Anything Bigger And You Will Most Likely Want More Balls. We Had 200 In A Small Plastic Pool, Kids 1 - 7 Coul Run And Jump In With Out Knocking Many Balls out

No I didn't use it as a ball pit personally. You wouldn't be able to get very many to stack. Or they would fall out the side. I think it comes up 6-8" But since you would be using smaller balls you might. I'd say a couple hundred of the smaller.

I've used 20 lbs covering (barely). If you want 3" on that size pit, I would think 40-50 lbs would be enough. They don't go very far....

The bounce house came with all around netting which can be fully velcroed and turned the bounce house into a Ball Pit. All you would need is to add about: 1000 pcs Crush-Proof Phthalate Free non-PVC Plastic Ball Pit Balls in 5 Colors - 3.1" Air-Filled - Guaranteed Crush-Proof or Your Money Back (for Home Use Only) Buy the 3" Balls, or you would need over 2000 of the 2.5"(65mm) balls and would cost you a lot more. Square Deals sells the best Ball Pit Balls in the market.
