A hammering kit safe enough for beginners! Kids use plastic hammers to pound 36 plastic “nails” into the durable foam board, then pry them out. When the board is worn out, zip off the burlap cover, stretch it to remove the holes and replace the board with a new one! Board is designed to limit the depth of nails, so they’re easy to pull out. Kit includes 4 hammers. Board measures 12"l x 12"w x 3 3/4"h.
Item # LC955

Perfect for fine motor skills

This is so much fun! My students love this item. The material is durable, and it can be used many times before the insert needs to be replaced.

Always a hit in my Pre-K classroom

Purchasing another hammering board kit to replace the same product that I purchased over 7 years ago from Lakeshore. Definitely worth the price. You will bet a lot of use out of this product. This is always a popular activity in my Pre-K classroom (3-5 year olds).

Hammer

My 3-year-old preschool class LOVES when I pull this out! I love to add rubber bands to this center, so they can stretch the bands around their nails, adding additional fine motor skills to the activity!

This one is so cool!

Kids love this one, and it's great that they created it so that the nails only go down so far so that the kids can easily pull them back out with the other end of the hammer

Great toy

This is such a creative toy. I bought it for my 6 yr old twin nephews (whom have autism), and both love playing with it. They both quickly learned (by seeing their dad do it) how to hammer a nail, and then how to remove it after. I love that it teaches hand coordination. This toy is a little over priced in my opinion, but you can't find anything like it anywhere else, and I don't regret buying it as it's been a big hit with my nephews.

Perfect to develop eye-hand coordination

The hammering kit is the perfect activity that helps a child develop various skills such as hand-eye coordination, strengthening muscles, preparing a hand for writing, etc. Children love it and have lots of fun!

Safe hammer and nails!

This is one of our favorite new additions to our toy cabinet. Safe and easy to handle for the rambunctious kids who love to smash things.
