This is a superb toy. The balls rolling back and forth encourage eye tracking which is great for pre reading visual skills. Also, the colored tubes help children practice matching with colors as they can match the ball color to the tube. Further the pounding and hammering encourages eye hand coordination which is a very important skill to have. On top of all the 'educational' type reasons this is a good toy to have around, it's just plain fun and kids like it.

I have a three year old who still likes this toy and an 18 month who pushes the balls in with her hand rather than use the hammer. They both like this toy.

To keep my kids from pounding each other, I tied a string around the hammer and the toy. It keeps it on a leash so it's not hard to find (since they don't always connect it like the picture shows) and it keeps it from being easily used to hammer heads and furniture, just balls.

I'd buy this one again if I had to. It is a good toy.

Enjoy.

We gave this to our one-and-a-half year old, and he still loves it six months later. He likes pounding the balls and watching them drop down the chutes and whirligig. After a while he started matching the balls to their same-color tube also.

We even put this out when we have adults over and they like it too!

The item is quite durable and assembly is very easy -- takes about three seconds.

We bought this for my son for Christmas when he was 18 months old and he still loves it (8 months later). All of his friends love it too. He has a plethora of toys, but still pulls this one out daily. Some of the previous reviews mentioned that the tubes were pretty tight and almost difficult for the little one's to pound, so we passed the balls through the tubes a few dozen times before we gave him the gift. It helped and the toy was a hit. This toy has helped with eye-hand coordination as well as color identification. I would definitely recommend this toy.
