Excellent toy that my active son loves!
My son is 20 months old and we have been working on his motor skills (hand, eye coordination)with a therapist. I got this toy hoping it may help him and it has been great. The second he opened it on Christmas morning he loved the colors and wanted to figure out how it worked. It took roughly one minute for him to learn about the hammer and knocking the balls through. He loved it and plays with it everyday. It has also been great teaching him new phrases like "ball in", "ball out", "hit ball", "ball down", etc. He also learned that you can push the balls through which he enjoys too.CONCERNS I HAD BEFORE I BOUGHT: I originally was worried that this toy wouldn't last long since it consisted of toddlers hitting it as hard as they can with a hammer, but I've been amazed at how well it holds up. My son is not gentle on toys and this one was built for him. The top of the tower has tons of dents in it now but I assumed that would happen. When you have a little kid hitting the heck out of the top of it with a hammer what do you expect?? But there are no cracks or evidence of anything beggining to loosen or break.I was also concerned about getting this because the balls are wooden and heavy. My son throws just about everything, especially balls, so I imagined many calls to 911. But, I got it anyway and though he has thrown them a few times, he seems to realize they are hard and can be dangerous so he doesn't throw them anymore. We also make sure to tell him very seriously that he can't throw these balls.I'm very happy with this toy and am becoming a huge fan of Melissa and Doug toys. They are so sturdy, colorful and fun! My son also has the set of little wooden alphabet blocks and those are great learning tools too.Ver másVer menos
