This classic wooden toy provides endless fun and developmental benefits, making it a perfect addition to any toddler's playtime.

Educational Benefits:

• Concentration & Focus: Repeated play encourages children to focus their attention and improve their concentration.
• Cause and Effect Learning: Children experience cause-and-effect as they hammer the pegs into the bench, which promotes early cognitive skills.
