Pounding Toy - Whacky Ball
Give the balls a whack and watch them roll down the ramps and pop out at the bottom.Â
The ramps have small wheels that spin when the balls pass through.
When your child whacks the balls with the hammer, it makes a fun squeaky sound. Very young children will probably prefer to simply use their fingers to pop the balls in the holes.Â
With its quirky colours and thoughtful design, this pounding bench is a fantastic baby toy. As a bonus, the packaging is simple, eco-friendly, and practical.Â
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Measures 28 x 30 cm..Suitable for children aged 1 yr. to 4 yrs.
Most parents have had daydreams of their little one's eyes shining with expectant delight as they unwrap their wonderful new activity toy. Some children have their curiosity and sense of humour stimulated by toys with sound, others by toys with light, and some need toys that are very colourful or that move and maybe have mirrors or balls as well. You know best what will give your child the most joy.
At ToyAcademy, you'll always be able to find educational and exciting high-quality toys for young children from 0 to 3 years, and we guarantee that you'll be able to find the perfect toy for your child - something your child will want to reach out for, sort, stack, open, fiddle with, and explore - all while laughing and giggling with delight.
Our hope is that your child can engage in delightful playtime. Maybe they can even explore and play while sitting down or standing still for a whole 5 (!) minutes - maybe even 10 minutes. Whether you choose to be right next to your child and have fun watching their uninterrupted play, or whether you use that time to get a couple of things done, is your own choice. But enjoy the moments when your child plays alone and discovers what the world of toys has to offer.
Develops important skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Stimulates hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when cutting with scissors, pouring water into a glass without spilling and making a mess, or when kicking or catching a ball that comes flying at us in PE class.
- Benefits your child's proprioception, which benefits their concentration and gives them the confidence to use their body in other types of active play.
