Got as a first bday gift. He didn’t care for it at first but now at 19 months old, he loves to hit it hard.

Croc toy
Easy for my 1yr old to use. Only dislike is the shifting part (underneath) is a bit stiff.

Doesnt Seem Durable
The toy is cute and appeared well made at first. It came in one piece and ready to play with out of the box. We have only had the toy one week and the wood is already pitted severely. The paint is already wearing away on the top edges of some of the legs.

My 15 month old absolutely loves this! It’s so cute and compact to put away easily. She loves watching the colors go up and down after hitting them

Cute but not too useful
Bought this toy to help my child practice fine motor skills, but it’s not very effective compared to another toy I purchased. Feels like a waste of money.

Unexpected Outcome for more Intuitive Play
I bought this on a whim because my 11 month old loves smaking things and loves cause and effect items. Not only did he loves this toy, he also realized that the mechanism under the bench is what causes the pegs to move and has been trying to figure out how to basically break the pegs free. An unexpected outcome, but one that keeps him entertained for at least an hour before wanting another toy. he always comes back to it though! as far as how it has held up ?

Love!
My 4 month old son loves it! He likes the push down on the pieces. We haven’t mastered holding the hammer yet but it definitely makes his little mind start to work.

Cute but cheap
This toy has a cute design but it’s definitely cheap and not going to last. After my child’s first time playing with it, there are divots on the top from the mallet. I mean it’s only $10 so I guess you can’t expect much but I am surprised that it gets damaged so easily. My kid is 15 months and can’t hit that hard. So I’m not positive this will last

Great Buy!
My 10-month-old LOVES this toy! It’s the perfect mix of cause-and-effect and motor skills. She gets such a kick out of the little alligators popping up and down, and I love that it’s sturdy wood instead of all plastic. Great for keeping her engaged and helping with coordination.

Absolutely adorable and well-made wooden toy!
Really cute toy! We got it as a gift, and it was so fun watching my little one bang on it. It didn’t hold attention for a long time, but it was still a fun and sweet toy while it lasted!

Fun
Perfect for a 22 month old who loves to bang away! He is entertained for about 5min with this.
