What age is the Little Dutch Pounding Bench suitable for?

How do I clean the Pounding Bench?
You can easily clean the Pounding Bench by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning products.

What skills does this toy help develop?

Can the pegs be removed easily?

What are the dimensions of the Pounding Bench?
The dimensions are approximately H11.5 x L23 x D16 cm.
Troubleshooting
Pegs are difficult to hammer.
Ensure the bench is on a flat, stable surface. Check that the pegs are correctly aligned in their holes. The force required is part of the skill-building aspect; encourage gentle, consistent pressure.
Mallet seems too large or small for the child's grip.
The mallet is designed for toddler hands. If a child struggles, assist them by guiding their grip or demonstrating how to hold it. For very young children, supervised practice is key.
Color paint seems to be chipping.
This is uncommon with water-based paints. Ensure you are cleaning only with a damp cloth and not using any harsh detergents. Minor wear may occur with extensive use.
