Baby Popi is a wooden pop-up toy designed to encourage the kind of repeated play babies naturally enjoy—pressing, pushing, watching, and doing it all over again.
This Montessori-style toy features two birds and one cat that bob gently when tapped and pop up when pressed more firmly. The simple cause-and-effect action encourages babies to experiment with movement while practicing hand control and coordination.
As children press, watch, repeat, and adjust their movements, they naturally build hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, color recognition, and early problem-solving skills.
Thoughtfully designed tops help keep the wooden pieces from rolling away, reducing the chances of missing pieces during everyday play.
Made from smooth, durable wood and designed with just enough resistance to encourage repeated practice, Baby Popi provides opportunities for independent exploration while remaining simple enough for young children to use successfully.
Parents and therapists appreciate toys like Baby Popi because repeated movement, experimentation, and skill-building happen naturally through play.
How to Use Baby Popi
- Begin by showing your child how to gently tap the birds and the cat to make them move. Then demonstrate how a firmer push makes them pop upward, helping your child connect actions with results.
- Encourage your child to retrieve the animals and place them back into the toy. Repeating these movements naturally builds hand-eye coordination and fine motor control.
- As your child becomes more comfortable with the toy, introduce matching activities by encouraging him to place each animal back into its correct color-coded opening.
- Allow time for independent exploration, too. Some children focus on matching, others enjoy repeated popping, and many switch between both.
- Short play sessions usually work well. Because the movements are simple and repetitive, many children return to the toy repeatedly throughout the day.

I bought this clever little toy for my grandson as a gift for his first birthday. He already loves to work with his hands (smile), although, of course, he's gaining the dexterity he needs to achieve his goals. He loved Baby Popi! The action amused him. One day soon he will be able to fit the stick figures in their holes, but for now, he is content with trying and carrying them around. He also enjoyed putting the characters into the box and taking them out again. I am so pleased that his first encounter with Popi occupied two long bursts of play, about 20 minutes each, at least! I highly recommend this toy, even for a 12-month-old. Growing into a toy and reaching the satisfaction of manipulating it is essential for babies and toddlers. Thanks, Timberdoodle, for always offering a strong toy option to enhance young child development!

The design is so smart. Love that the tops are flat so they don’t roll off the table. Really well made. Baby loves them

So Fun!

My 1 year old has a blast with this toy and is learning how to use it to it's full potential. He has gotten really good at placing the pieces back in which is a skill in itself, and now he is starting to figure out how to make them fly out of the base. It is so much fun to watch him growing a learning with this toy.

Wonderful Toy

This toy is very well made and I love that it is made of wood rather than plastic. My 15 month old and my 6 year old both think it is funny to make the pegs shoot out. When we aren't using it, it looks nice sitting on a shelf. It would also be a lovely gift.

Great fun.

My child and I both have a lot of fun with these. He can't quite make them pop by himself. It never fails to get a giggle out of him when they go flying.

Super cute!

I got this for my niece because it was so cute. She really enjoys pushing the pieces down and pulling them up. Nice quality!

My kids love it!!

My daughters, 6 month old and 2 year old, both love this! It's helping with hand eye coordination and it makes them giggle like crazy! 😁 Even the older two boys, 4&8, get a little giggle out of this when their younger sisters get going.

Fun little toy

I bought this since it was on sale if I'm being honest. But watching the giggles from my children when it pops out is my favorite. It can get boring quick as a toy for an older 2 year old. So only let them play with it for a little bit.

This is another product I went out on a limb to try with my 20-mo-old, and am glad I did. He's still figuring out how to push down just right to make the pegs jump, making it a good toy for older siblings to play with him - and one his little brother will grow into soon, too.

Baby Popi

Ages 1, 3 and 4 are absolutely in love with this toy! I bought it for the 1yo birthday and it keeps him engaged without assistance. I was concerned at first because a simple up and down push didnt seem to be enough to pop the pieces out, but rather sliding your finger off the side to sort of "flip"" it out. But all three children got it almost instantly and we all fell in love with it! Sweet, attractive and developmentally beneficial!
