Hape Multifunctional Pound & Tap Bench with Slide-Out Xylophone | Durable Wooden Musical Pounding Toy for Toddlers 12 Months and Up

Bought for 14 month boy, loved the box more than the toy to start with but gave us a chance to check it. Nice and smooth, no sharp or rough edges, lovely bright colours, balls too big to go in the mouth. May be a little young to use the hammer but was able to copy us pushing the balls through with his hand. It was the first thing he went to play with the following day. Only complaint is the cord connecting the stick to the xylophone is a bit short (probably for safety reason) so he just thinks it's something to pick it up and swing it about with. But he has worked out he can play it using the hammer! Great fun.

This is a really wonderful toy. Well made, wooden, multiple ways to play with it. Our 6m old is very intrigued by the xylophone sounds, but cant quite work it yet. We like that it’s not an annoying sound.He loves to pick up the wooden balls in his hands, and to put the hammer in his mouth. He is just learning how to push the balls through the holes so that they land on the xylophone below. It will keep him entertained for many more months I’m sure!

This has proved to be a big hit with our son. He is almost 1 and he loves to try and hammer the balls through and to play the xylophone bit that pulls out. Nice and colourful and feels sturdy/good quality too

Excellent item of great quality, beautiful colour and construction.

My little boy loves this toy, and has used it quite a lot. It is a little overpriced though - it should probably be around £15 - £20 max. And despite the notes not being tuned to the diatonic scale, you can still play some cool songs with it. In fact, the first time I played "The wheels on the bus" on it, my little boy was in hysterics because he could hear that some of the notes were slightly out (a bit more minor than usual). I don't think this really effects the usefulness of the toy though. It still encourages my child to make sounds, and he often brings me the xlyphone and hammer and asks me to play various tunes. He also loves to bash the balls through the top, and uses the bench as a step, so it's very sturdy and can take a strong beating! Overall I am please with this purchase, though I did um and aah over the price.

Well loved toy. Youngest finds hitting the ball to hear music exciting and the oldest enjoys playing the xylophone. Hard wearing and easy for 18month old to use themselves

Fantastic toy, much loved by the 19 month old who received it for Christmas. She quickly figured out she could push the balls through the holes without hammering but it’s still great fun. Lovely sound and balls can be used with the Hape Roller Derby too.

We bought this for our son for Christmas and he wasn't too bothered with it (at 10 months) but now at 15 months old he loves putting the balls through the holes and hitting things (mainly not the xylophone) with the hammer. Yes the xylophone is out of tune but he's 1 so we're not expecting Beethoven. Brightly coloured, well made and lots to do with it, would recommend.

Mio figlio ha 6 mesi e siamo in una terra di mezzo in cui con i giochi "da 6 mesi" si annoia, ma gli altri sono troppo complessi.Questo è perfetto perché in realtà è come se contenesse 4 giochi (dal punto di vista di un bebè):- il martello che si può rosicchiare e sbattere- lo xilofono da tirare fuori dalla struttura e rivoltare qua e là- le palline da estrarre dai buchi- la struttura in sé, che è piena di aperture e si afferra con grande facilitàPoi quando mi vede pestare sulla palla e farla cadere sullo xilofono mi guarda ammirato e ride, anche se non sa farlo lui.È molto ben fatto e rifinito. La scatola è ben curata e non si deve montare nulla: lo estrai, levi la carta alle palline ed è pronto per giocare. Ottimo come regalo. Sono molto soddisfatta.---AGGIORNAMENTO: dopo un mese e mezzo di utilizzo quotidiano il gioco è come nuovo e il bimbo ha imparato a fare movimenti più fini e controllati con le dita per estrarre le palline dei loro buchi: Questo non è ovvio, dato che sono pensate per cadere di sotto e non per venire tirate fuori di sopra. Ha anche capito che se gratta lo xilofono con il martello ne escono dei suoni e la cosa lo intrattiene molto.Insomma: essendo un gioco tanto ricco di pezzi e funzioni, sta durando molto a lungo e confermo quindi che è davvero un ottimo acquisto anche per bambini più piccoli (è stra-sicuro: tutti pezzi grossi e ben fissati).

The position of the balls over the xylophone makes it so fun for my baby to play with. She bashes the balls in and it makes a sound she loves. Then she can use the xylophone separately if she wants, it's easy for her to pull out. She can also practice putting the balls in the holes. One of the toys she keeps coming back to!

High quality and quick delivery
