Give it a whack! This pounding bench helps to develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination by pounding one of the eight colourful pegs to cause its neighbour to pop up. The bench measures 26 cm wide (about 10.5") and comes with a sturdy wooden mallet. The mechanism for the pegs is simple and reliable, and offers just the right amount of resistance so that a bit of effort is required in order to pound the peg, but not so much as to make the activity difficult or frustrating.
