Stop before the fun part
Raise the hammer and wait before you bang. Count to 10 in your head. A look, a sound, a reach, a sign or a word all count.
Hape Pound & Tap Bench with Xylophone
A wooden pounding bench where hammered balls roll across a slide-out xylophone. The "ready… BANG!" rhythm makes a natural pause.
Add it to a custom bundle: 4 toys picked for your child, a 6-month lesson plan and 4 video sessions.
