Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Plan Toy Miracle Pounding Toy is Plan's most popular pounder. Hammer down the colorful ball. Pop. Another ball comes out the top to be hammered down again. There is a continuous stream of bright wooden pounding balls. Toddlers love the repetitive action and the surprise of the new ball popping out of the top. It is a great way to burn off energy.

This toy is sturdy, smart, and simple!! We got it for our 15 month-old and he really enjoys it, as does our three year-old daughter. Yes, you have to keep track of the balls, but I think pretty much every kids' toy ever made has multiple pieces... So five colorful balls aren't too bad. =)

Product arrived with one of the balls too large to go through the track to the other side. One of the red balls just sticks and has to be forced through. Way too difficult for my grandson. I have trouble pushing it through. Ugh.

was so overly priced and did not work as well as regular pounding blocks. 2 plus year old Child lost interest fast.

In concept, this is a great toy. I love that it is wooden and not made in China. You whack a ball and the next one pops up.

Problem is that nothing really keeps the balls in the thing. It is now sitting empty on my living room floor (after 10 days of play) and I have no clue where the 1 yr old (or maybe his older 4 yr old brother) has put the balls.

This is a keeper...

This toy is pretty cool. I bought this for my 9 month old for x-mas - you have a constant stream of balls to pound and my older son likes it - he's 3 - and he played with it for quite a while. I am guessing the 9month old will grow into it, but he's a little young for it at the moment. It's made out of nice wood and seems like the type of toy you could keep around for future kids (or even your kids' kids someday...) - as opposed to cheap plastic toys.

Excellent toy!

I love Plan Toys - safe, educational, and fun. They use rubberwood from trees that no longer can be used for this purpose, and use safe food-grade stains instead of paint. My boy has been playing with this toy since he was 9 months old, and at 13 months still finds new ways to play with it. The balls are stained, so persistent mouthing has not damaged the paint. This is remarkable, since Haba blocks have not been as resistant. He still has not grasped the idea of hitting the balls with a mallet, so I expect this toy to provide entertainment a while longer.

This is completely useless... the balls are too big to got through the little chute....no child or adult could make it work without sandpapering or otherwise fixing.

I use this without the hammer. Everything feels amazing, very high quality. Balls are not painted, so no worries about baby chewing them.
