Woodland Hammer Toy

Pound them down. Flip it over. Do it all again. The Woodland Hammer Toy is one of those classic toddler toys that never gets old — and there's a very good reason for that. The four smiley-faced toadstools get hammered down with the bluebird-shaped mallet, and then the whole tray flips over so they can be hammered right back up again. The cause-and-effect loop is endlessly satisfying for toddlers, and the woodland theming — soft nature-inspired colors, a sweet bluebird hammer, cheerful toadstool faces — makes it one of the prettiest pounding toys on the market. The chunky mallet is perfectly sized for little hands at 18 months, and the pounding action builds real physical strength and coordination at exactly the age when toddlers want to hit everything. Better this than the furniture.
