A pounding toy with a surprise difference!
Hammering with the mallet on four big coloured shape buttons causes coloured geometric animals to jump out of the toy. Then the child can puzzle fit them back in. Improves hand strength and eye-hand co-ordination. Practice shape fitting, colour matching, and experience interesting cause and effect action. Latex-free.

Play Tip!
Works on two sets of skills, puzzle-fitting and hammering on a set target. The "jumping out of the toy" effect is very motivating. A good feature is the animal heads on the pieces. When they face forward kids know that the pieces will fit into the holes. A more advanced shape sorter then the Sound Puzzle Box.

PLAY Tip
Stair Masters!
Gooo-ing up!
Always teach going up before teaching coming down. It is easier to master, safer, and will build skills needed for safe going down. Stay right behind them the entire time. It's for safety, but also many children find a light touch comforting and encouraging.
