Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
A little workbench for more than hammering
Five shape pegs and a two-sided bench offer twisting and pulling as well as tapping with the toy hammer. That gives the child several ways to approach the pieces before accurate matching becomes important. The impact sound is part of play, and the hammer should stay with the intended toy activity.
- Best fit
- Manipulating the pegs in several ways is the attraction.
- Before buying
- Tapping is audible; use the hammer on the toy and keep nearby fingers clear. Use the stated age guidance and adjust adult help to the child rather than expecting a particular learning outcome.

A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
Hape Pound & Tap adds musical notes to a pounding action. Baby's First Blocks removes the hammer and focuses on shape placement. Choose Tap & Turn when manipulating the pegs in several ways is the attraction.
A suggested first play session
Explore each peg by hand before introducing gentle hammer taps.
