Punch Ball & Xylophone
This engaging, multi-functional resource combines musical exploration with opportunities for children to practise fine motor skills, colour recognition, and cause-and-effect thinking. Children begin by placing the three coloured balls into their matching holes on the wooden bench, supporting early classification and problem-solving. Using the hammer, they then tap the balls through, which fall onto the xylophone to create simple melodies.
The xylophone can also be removed and used separately, encouraging open-ended play and allowing children to explore music independently. Crafted from high-quality, durable wood, this set is designed for long-lasting use in early learning environments. Suitable for ages 12 months+.
Set includes: 1 bench, 1 xylophone, 3 coloured balls, and 1 hammer (6 pieces).
Key Educational Benefits:
- Hand-Eye Coordination – Strengthens precision and timing through hammering and ball placement.
- Fine Motor Development – Builds grip strength, wrist control, and dexterity.
- Cause & Effect Thinking – Reinforces understanding of actions leading to outcomes (ball drops producing sound).
- Cognitive Skills – Supports colour recognition, matching, and classification.
- Musical Awareness – Introduces rhythm, melody, and sound exploration through the xylophone.
- Sensory Stimulation – Combines visual, auditory, and tactile input for well-rounded engagement.
- Open-Ended Play – Offers flexible use of the bench and xylophone together or separately.
