  • We had this but we lost the piece pretty fast. Dec 10, 2023

  • Not sure how I feel about this toy. It is not a regular 'go to' toy for my kids. There have been some tears from fingers getting smashed and or the mallet being used as a weapon. It's meh for us. Dec 31, 2020

  • It feels well made, but the paint does come off of the pieces pretty easily. My daughter likes this for a few minutes but then looses interest. Good toy, great price, just not a favorite at our house. Aug 02, 2020

  • My son really liked this toy, however this is one that stayed at my mom's house. My son would take the hammer from the toy to everything else. You know your kid. Some can handle this toy, others can't Jun 01, 2020

  • Such a fun and hands on toy for kiddos! My daughter loved hitting it when she could sit, and now she loves making patterns with the blocks and pushing them in and out now that she's older. Apr 29, 2020

  • Didn’t keep attention for long and seems I was always finding these pieces all over my house. Feb 17, 2020

  • This is a great toy for hand eye coordination and also helps teach colors! My daughter and nephew have gotten a lot of use from it! Jan 21, 2019

  • My little one likes to pound and has so much fun with this toy Aug 27, 2018

  • If you want to occupy a toddler for a good amount of time, this is the toy for you - they love pounding these pegs and then flipping over and doing it all again! Aug 03, 2018

    • elizabeth city, North Carolina

    My daughter loved this as a toddler. But was not a toy that lasted a really long time as far as occupying her. Mar 08, 2018

  • My kiddo loves this toy. Jan 04, 2018

  • A fun toy for multiple ages but the pegs don't always stay in place and fall through on their own. Dec 12, 2017

    • Ali B.

    • St Petersburg, Florida

    Great toy and the hammer is a favorite! Only thing I do not care for is the hammer handle is painted and the first time he bit down the paint chipped off so we ordered one without paint on it Jun 21, 2017

  • My 2 older boys loved this toy so much, my third boy will never get to play with it. It fell apart after about two years. Apr 25, 2017

  • Nice toy just felt like it could've been a little sturdier. Apr 12, 2017

  • My son loves hitting the pegs but I gave a neutral rating because some of the pegs just fall out with out any pressure on them. Its like the peg is too small for the hole so it just falls out. Mar 28, 2017

    • Jamie G.

    • Royersford, Pennsylvania

    My son has played with this toy from when he got it at 1 year old and still bangs on it currently at 4 1/2. It's a good stress reliever for him now, and helped with hand eye coordination when little. Dec 23, 2015
