how many balls are adequate for the ball pit?

We have 1400 in it and it's adequate but I think to really be full you would need about 2000

We have 900 and they barely cover the bottom. Need to double that # to really fill it up.

I bought a bag of 300 and it wasn't near enough, that barely covers the pit with 1 layer. We switched to giant foam blocks, it is easier and softer.

the ball pit part is 3' by 4' and I have 600 balls in it and it is full. the bounce part is about 4' x 4' square and the ball pit is a little bit shorter

My husband (not a big man, about 5'6 130 lbs) plus a 25 lb, and two 40 lb kids play in it at the same time. My husband stays in the ball pit area and the kids just play in both areas - they have a blast!

Try a bicycle pump or an air compressor. My grandsons have enjoyed this ball pit! Had to buy a new one because of a leak!

You get 3 sacks and they are not filled. I purchased play sand from Home Depot to fill them. The other option is to use Sand Bells. I use the Speed Sacs in a gym and they do not want any sand on the floor. The Sand Bells worked out well and can be used for medicine ball type training too.

We purchased one bag for our daughter's toddler. It filled the pack n play nicely. I think a small pool might need 3 bags. It all depends upon the diameter of "small" and how deep you want the balls. Our grandsons loved it! Warning; they also love tossing them OUT of the pack n play!

In my opinion for a playpen, 200 would be enough for a 1-3yr old. However, to make it more fun and really fill up the playpen, I would maybe get two sets. The balls get tossed around and maybe a few misplaced. My son is obsessed with balls right now so balls get taken in the car, to the grandparents or left behind in the yard etc. We have only had 1 set and they are still enough for now and going strong. If we were to have another party I would order a 2nd set to really fill up my sons pool.

I bought a pack of 500 of the 3" balls from Amazon My Balls by CMS Pack of 500 pcs Jumbo Size 3.1'' Crush Proof Ball Pit Balls - Standard Home Grade, Phthalate Free, BPA Free, non-PVC, non-Recycled Plastic and filled the playpen perfectly. These balls were much larger size so you will need less number of them, and they are perfect for my 18 months old grand daughter.

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.

Balls are 2.5 inch in diameter (smaller than what I remember a "ball pit" ball to be) There were 150 in my bag.

That is going to depend an awful lot on how big the cookie balls are. If you are using a melon ball scoop there should be a number on the scoop. That number tells you how many balls should fit in to a quart, probably around 30 depending on the dough. I would estimate that if the dough size is that close to a ping pong ball, that you should be able to get about 18 in there. If the scoop is closer to baseball size you won't fit a dozen in there.

Just to reiterate, takes a lot of balls to fill. We bought 1000 and it is still no where near full. It covers the bottom, but is not full like a regular ball pit.

It can hold about 50 tennis balls,works well, and be strong enough. For baseball, I think maybe hold 30 and strong enough. Attention:If using to pick up, baseball is too big.

Maybe enough room for 4-6 more. I put them into a 5 gallon pail w/ our other balls. Also, my son is a HS senior with small college hitting ability and these balls were totally destroyed after a few BP sessions. Youth usage only!!!!

I would buy at least 200 more. The playhut its self is awesome but its a sad ball pit!

It is actually the perfect size for a ball pit! The door would be the only problem but it would actually work almost perfectly! I think that is a great idea!

It depends on the size of the ballons - I can have 40 ballons - medium size, or 20 very big ballons
