I found "Hammer Balls" to be a superb toy for my one year old son! In watching him utilize this toy over the last couple weeks, I have been able to view gains in gross motor skills and coordination. The aspect of the toy I enjoyed the most was the progressive skill building that it allowed for. My son first used his hands to push the balls through the holes, and after seeing the repeated cause and effect rewards of his efforts began to use the hammer to drive the balls through. This is a great toy for the age intended. Well done Fat Brain!
It's all about the kids

I purchased the Hammer Balls for my 18 month old granddaughter. She loved it, while she was playing with it, my 4 year old grandson, jumped in and was enjoying it as well. Great toy, keep it simple.
Awesome Toy

This toy is beautifully made. I love that it is made out of wood and is so nicely designed. My 10 1/2 month old played with it as soon as it was out of the box. I would recommend this toy to others.
Soon she will put it all together

So far my greatniece is only 10 1/2 months old. She chews on the balls, bangs on the bench with her hand and throws the hammer and balls around.
She is really enjoying it, and once she accidentally banged a ball through with her hand. It is only a matter of time and coordination.
I am very happy with the toy.
