Ball Popper Obstruction ;)

One of Ethan's favorite toys is his ball popper. He learned how to press the button to start the air flow that shoots the balls out a long time ago, but just recently he has become interested in picking up the balls and returning them to the track rather than letting them lay around on the floor or chewing on them. When he learned that he could put the balls back down the chute of the ball popper, he decided to see what other objects would fit down there. Today he kept pressing the button to start the ball popper, and the music and air flow would start, but nothing was shooting out. I decided to investigate why, and this is what I found:

I had to dismantle the ball popper in order to remove the girl Megablock piece that was wedged in there. Since this obstruction incident, I have seen him try to shove a few other toys into the ball popper, but fortunately none were small enough to travel down the chute!
