Product Information
Full details
The Woodlets Hammer Bench is designed for toddlers aged 12 months and up, offering a fun and engaging way to develop essential motor skills. Its key benefit lies in fostering hand-eye coordination and color recognition through simple peg-hammering action. A minor caveat is that the pegs are cylindrical and may be small for very young children still prone to mouthing objects, necessitating supervision. This toy includes a hammer bench, six colorful cylindrical pegs, and a wooden hammer, all crafted from sustainably sourced wood. It provides a repetitive and satisfying play experience where children can hammer pegs through the bench, flip it over, and repeat.

Troubleshooting
Pegs not fitting securely
Ensure pegs are placed straight in the holes. Minor variations in wood grain might cause a slightly looser fit, but they should not fall out on their own.
Hammer not effective
Ensure the child is using the correct end of the hammer. Encourage them to swing with a bit more force and aim directly at the peg.
Wood parts feel rough
Wood grains can sometimes create slight roughness. Lightly sand any specific rough spots with very fine-grit sandpaper, then wipe clean.
Pegs go missing
Keep the components together in a designated toy bin or bag. If pegs are lost, consider purchasing similar-sized wooden dowels or pegs as replacements, ensuring they are safe for toddler use.
