Hammer Bench – Classic Montessori Material
This timeless Montessori hammer bench is one of the very first materials introduced to toddlers in Montessori classrooms, starting around 18 months. It invites children to practice focus, coordination, and controlled movement. By striking the colorful pegs with the wooden mallet, toddlers strengthen their hand–eye coordination, build fine motor skills, and enjoy the satisfaction of purposeful activity.
Why parents and teachers love it
Parents value the durability and safe design made from solid European wood. Montessori teachers use the hammer bench as a classic Practical Life and motor activity, offering children a productive way to release energy while practicing precision.
