Solid construction, suvives little twin boysFeb 07, 2010 We got this toy for the boys, both about 17 months, and it has survived their best attempts at destruction. The wood is good and thick, and the paint is more of a very bright stain than paint, so no chipping. All in all, it's a durable toy that the kids will love to whack.
Pounding What?Jan 05, 2010 Did not like this toy. A flat stick needs to be inserted before you can hammer the red ball to make the other ball go up and around. First my 18 mo old can not figure out what, how or why you need to insert the stick. Second it takes a really hard wack to make the ball move. It is made well and pretty but useless.

good for motor skills...Aug 28, 2009 Got this when my daughter was about 16 months.....it didn't capture her attention for long periods of time...i mean there is only so much times you can hit it for enjoyment. but it is good for building eye and hand coordination which was the primary focus when I decided to purchase this product.

A Hit!!Dec 26, 2006 I'm impressed with this toy. It's all-wood construction. Very smooth, well-sanded, no sharp edges. Hit the rubber spot with the mallet, and the ball rises up and out of the tower, rolls around the tower on the colored "walls", and rolls back into the base of the tower, ready to be hit again. The very young will enjoy the repetition (no batteries required!). The slightly older (in our house, at least) enjoy testing various "tricks", such as what happens if I hit it harder? lighter? at the edge of the lever arm instead of on the red dot? etc. We found it to be enjoyable for all ages. I appreciate the solid construction. It's very sturdy, bottom-heavy (nice) and quite lovely wood grains, too.
