Hape Pound & Tap Bench with Slide Out Xylophone - Award Winning Durable Wooden Musical Pounding Toy for Toddlers

Solid item built to last. Grandson liked it a lot.

It was my daughter loves it !!!!!

Solid sturdy toy for little hands to learn. Would buy again

I bought this toy for my 11 month baby because my friend has it and it has high reviews. I figured it would be a toy she plays with once and then is over it. I was wrong. This is the toy that keeps on giving. She carries around and plays with the balls consistently, has learned to pull out the xylophone, and enjoys playing with the hammer! There are enough pieces of this toy to keep your baby entertained for a decent amount of time and over a good period of time. This is also a cheaper version than the other set that comes with the drum and you can apply the baby registry completion discount towards this item which makes it more affordable!

Any baby would love it

My husband purchased this as a Christmas gift for my then 10 month old daughter. She has shape sorting toys but isn't quite big enough to comprehend those yet. This toy allowed her to learn a couple of motor skills, such as pushing the balls through the holes with her hands and clanking two together to make a noise. This may sound silly but the rubber piece that holds the balls into place prevents the balls from falling through obviously so she has time to make the connection that they need force to move. With the toy being wooden it is sturdy enough for her to safely lean on as well. She also pulls the musical piece underneath out on her own now and taps it. I love that she still has time to grow with this to learn how to use the rubber mallet to play music and tap the balls as well. There isn't too much going on with this, no crazy extra noises or distractions. It's a quality gift that will last until we are done having children.

We have had this toy for years and my kids have LOVED IT. They have beaten on it with the included hammer, slammed the balls into it while learning to place them, and really just put this toy to the test. It still looks NEW. Barely any visible dents or scratches.This is truly an heirloom quality toy that stands the test of time.We’ve gifted it multiple times and every family has loved it.

This is amazing. So well thought out. Toddlers love it! The mallet head is rubberized, so it doesn't make a terribly loud noise but is still fun for the child. The inner rings of the ball placement holes are also rubberized to hold them in place when the child is hitting them. The ring of color around each hole matches the corresponding ball which creates an opportunity for color matching. All edges are nicely rounded and the finishes/ paint seem durable. The xylophone is good quality and fun! (The adults in the house have been playing with it as much as the children.) It comes with a book of beginner songs to practice, which is awesome!
