FAQs
What is the recommended age for the Little Dutch Pounding Bench?
This toy is typically recommended for toddlers aged 12 months and older.
Are the paints used on the toy safe for children?
Yes, Little Dutch uses child-friendly, non-toxic, water-based paints for their products.
Can I buy replacement pegs if some go missing?
Replacement parts are not sold separately; it is recommended to keep the pegs in a dedicated toy storage container.
Is the bench heavy for a toddler to flip?
The bench is designed to be sturdy enough to stay in place, but light enough for a toddler to flip over with supervision.
How do I clean the wooden pieces?
Clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or soak the items in water.
Troubleshooting
Pegs are becoming difficult to push through the holes
Check the underside of the bench for debris or wood shavings and ensure the pegs are not being pushed in at a sharp angle.
The hammer surface is showing wear
This is expected with wooden toys. You can lightly sand the area if rough edges appear, but generally, this is normal for a well-loved toy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Pounding Bench arrives ready to use right out of the box with no assembly required. To maintain the wood's finish and ensure longevity, wipe the bench, mallet, and pegs with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the wooden components in water, as this can cause the wood to warp or the painted finishes to chip. Store in a dry area to prevent moisture buildup in the peg holes, which could cause the pegs to stick over time.
