Pounding Benches for Toddlers
Pounding benches for toddlers: wooden benches with pegs and a mallet, hammer and ball games and tapping toys.
Hitting something on purpose
A pounding bench gives a toddler a socially acceptable way to hit as hard as it likes, which is a relief for everyone. Aiming a mallet at a peg takes real coordination between eye and hand. The immediate result, the peg goes down, keeps the game going for a long time.
What makes a good bench
Solid wood absorbs the noise far better than plastic, which matters more than you might think. Pegs that push through and can be turned over mean the game never actually ends. A mallet with a chunky handle fits a small fist and is easier to aim with.
