My son was about one when we bought this for him. He had zero interest in using it as it is made to be used. The balls were all over (a couple are missing now) and the hammer is mainly used for other things. We thought he would “grow into it,” but at two and a half, he still has no interest in it’s real function. For around the same price we could have gotten a more interesting Plan ball & hammer toy that he would have enjoyed more.

We bought the MIRACLE POUNDING TOY for my 17 month old son. He has gotten several months of enjoyment out of it.
The colorful wooden balls get taken out and played with all over the house. He also sits and plays with it more as designed, pushing a ball into one opening and watching another ball get pushed out the lower opening.
Yoy may or may not want to have the hammer out. We find that the MIRACLE POUNDING TOY is enjoyed without it, and so currently have retired the hammer (so as to avoid the “pound on this not that” discussion).
Thumbs up for this simple, colorful, durable, interesting toy!

Okay, so pardon the above pun, but my son has loved the pounder since 6mo of age. We look for quality toys from SAFE companies. Plan Toys provides safe toys free from BPA, phthalates, or lead paint. The balls are stained, not painted, so they won’t ever chip! We also look for toys that will grow with our child.
As an infant, he liked to mouth/teeth on the balls and mallet. When he started crawling, he had TONS of fun crawling after the balls on our hardwood floors. They were great crawling incentives. Then, he worked on dumping things out, and now, at 9.5 months, he is working on putting the balls back in. I know the Mallet will eventually double as a hammer for work projects, and someday, it will be great for teaching color sorting/cause and effect and coordination/motor skills. It will be a long time, I think, until he is able to use it for it’s intended use. Before they are able to use the mallet to move the balls, the child can press the balls down to make the next one pop up.
It’s wonderful! (And the balls fit other Plan ball toys, too.)

I loved the idea of this toy, so I got this for my toddler. I though that the balls were contained withint the unit, so he could just keep pounding them down, not take them out. In reality the toy was hardly used because my children were mostly interested in throwing the balls around, or hitting other things with the hammer, since the balls are heavy wooden balls, that just wasn’t going to work for us. This one ended up in the yard sale 3 months after christmas.
