BALLARAT, Australia -- A 3-year old boy was having the time of his life after crawling into a vending machine and handing out toys to other children.

Noah Jeffrey climbed inside a vending machine in a restaurant play area Sunday.

Noah was in the machine for about 10 minutes before his mother was able to coax him out.

The vending machine company said they would install a bar to prevent similar accidents in the future, according to Australia's Herald Sun newspaper.

Several children have managed to crawl inside toy machines throughout the years.

In 2010, a boy climbed through a machine's one square foot hole at a Wisconsin Walmart.

A 3-year-old Minnesota boy also got inside a claw machine in 2006.

A girl in South Carolina had the same idea, and was eventually pulled out by firefighters.
