Hammer Tic
Hammer Tic is a classic, hands-on mosaic activity that invites children to build colourful designs by hammering wooden geometric shapes onto a cork board. Using the included wooden hammer and nails, children can follow one of the illustrated assignment cards or create their own original compositions, encouraging both structured learning and free artistic expression.
This activity builds essential fine motor skills, promotes spatial reasoning, and strengthens hand-eye coordination—all while engaging creativity and concentration. Ideal for use at home, in the classroom, or in therapy settings, Hammer Tic offers a fun and satisfying way for children to explore shapes, colour, and design. Ages 4yrs+.
