Product Description
The classic pounding toy has been taken to new "towering" heights! Pound the four brightly colored balls through the tower's holes, then watch and listen as they roll down the ramps. Sturdy wooden hammer included. Measures 10" x 6 x 5.7".
My son has gotten many hours of fun out of this toy. He started playing with it at 9 months and quickly learned to place the balls in the tower from the side, since he wasnt strong enough to push them through the top.
He still plays with it daily 6 months later.
Only complaint is that a few of the wooden ramps have fallen out on occasion. But, they are easily glued back into place.
When I bought this toy, I was unsure if it would be a hit, but to my surprise my 18-month old daughter loved it. It is fun her to place the balls in the openings, use the hammer, and watch the balls go down. The balls make a nice sound too as they roll through the maze. She also likes to play with balls separately - putting them into boxes and baskets, etc since they are a nice weight and size for play, unlike plastic and fabric balls. The finish on the balls is of good quality since the brightly colored finish doesn't rub off when the balls occasionally go banging into my nice white baseboards! The only downside to this toy - since the balls are wood we had to teach my daughter to just roll them, not to throw them since they are heavy! She has been good with that rule, so overall we would recommend this toy.
I bought this for my son who is five and has Down syndrome, so I'm not always sure which developmental age is best for him. He likes to name the colors and has figured out how to best attack the balls to get them through the openings. The openings are narrow enough to require a little work, but are not so narrow as to be frustrating. The balls make a clicking sound that seem to be pleasing to a little boy. There isn't anything to contain the balls once they roll out so I usually put it in a shallow container or box lid so that the balls don't all end up under the furniture.
I bought this toy for her 18 month old friend because it seemed right up his alley, I took it out of the box to wrap it and my daughter saw it and went crazy. She would sneak into the room and play with the toy. I finally had to buy her her own. They love this toy. The only problem, I would not recommend having this toy out when having playdates, not just for the wood hammer that one kid could swing at the other but the balls can be thrown at other children too and they are wood......
Buy this toy it is fun and a good height, and for some reason, they love it.
I bought this for my 22 month old grand daughter for Christmas and she loves it. This is one of the old-time kid powered toys that hasn't lost it's charm. She names the colors of each ball as she pounds it down then watches it roll through the maze. She also quickly figured out the balls travel well on a wood floor and giggles as they make they way down the hall and hit the wall. Now that's entertainment!
