Your toddler grips the little hammer and taps the wooden pegs down through the holes in the bench — a simple, repeatable action that keeps small hands busy and invites them to try again and again. It's part of Grow Baby's Little Greyton collection and carries an age guidance of 12 months and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the bench, hammer and pegs are shaped for little hands, this is one of those early wooden toys a toddler can pick up and start using with only a bit of guidance. The pieces are easy to grasp, the play pattern is clear, and the satisfying \"tap\" of hammer on peg gives immediate feedback that keeps them coming back to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat your toddler can practise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hammering toy like this one is a lovely way to bring together several kinds of play in one activity.
