Its properly called crate training, and its very effective when done right. I crate trained my dog and had her house broken in less than 2 weeks. I don't know how old the pup is or how long you're away at work, but this site has some great guidelines on crate training.

Removing the peanut butter jar is a good call to prevent pieces being swalled when pup chews them off. Surgery to removed an intestinal blockage = $$$. Plus, animals can be allergic to peanuts.
Also, I let my pup play with one of these, but ONLY UNDER SUPERVISION.

Most dogs can open the ball after a while of playing with it, which is fine if you remove it immediately and put it back together. Pup have problems getting their mouth around such a large ball, plus its more fun to chase around. To be extra sure the pup won't swing the ball, you can remove the weasel. Its a great toy when you want to sit on the couch, but the dog wants to play. It does have electronic parts, so I cannot emphasize enough that this is a good toy only when used in a supervised environment.
