Pound A Peg

Description

One of our most popular toddler toys, The Pound A Peg features a hammer and eight brightly colored pegs that can be pounded into the bench. When the pegs are hammered through, the bench can be flipped over and the pegs can be hammered again.

Why we love it

Pound a Peg receives our seal of approval because it is a well made, reasonably priced toy that teaches the basics of hand-eye coordination, a must for any little one.

Product Features

• Show the child how to bang the pegs in the board with the hammer. At first his/her hand-eye coordination will be helped if he/she put one hand on the side of the peg to aim better. Also, your child will be more accurate if he/she doesn't begin his/her swing too far away from the Pound a Peg.
• Soon your little one will be able to hit the pegs by himself/herself, without the help of a support hand.
• Once your child has hit all the pegs into the board and they are flat, he/she will experience a sense of accomplishment at completing the task. Then flip the board over and your child can play all over again.
• To improve your child's language skills and color recognition, direct him/her to hit only the blue pegs. Then have him/her hit all the red pegs. You can teach your child about patterns by having him/her hit every other peg, or only the first peg in every row.
