It's great quality, so simple but great fun. He is only 18 months old but can ping the pegs out sometimes too. Loves collecting them up & putting them back in the holes. We've spent ages today playing with this 😊

5.0 out of 5 stars Great but the spring is a bit too strong

P. · 13 June 2025

This is a really nice quality toy.Firstly there are springs in the toy how they are not exposed to accessible. However there appears to be two screws underneath so would assume if there was an issue you could remove it and check.The spring is enough to push the pegs about 40cm high so although you could give to a small child I would avoid anyone under 18months as one of those wooden pegs to the eye is going to blind. I would say this needs to be supervised playtime as my little one put them straight in the mouth and the base is heavy. Great product but might be better for a little older than stated on product

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but effective design.

Well made fun toy. Simple but effective design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for younger children.

I bought this as wanted to get some traditional wooden toys for my daughter. It says suitable from 12 months, however my daughter (9 months old) is still putting things in her mouth, so as soon as I opened this, she pulled the pegs out and shoved them in her mouth. They are the perfect size for choking, so I have put it away until she is older. I thought the pegs would be stuck in and just pop up and down where they are, but they come out all together. I would therefore recommend that you supervise small children at all times with this toy.The toy itself is beautifully and simply made. Its good quality and came nicely boxed. Its a classic toy that won't date and I'm sure will be a firm favourite when the time is right.I would like to add that now my daughter is one she loves this toy! So much so that she has one at home & one at her grandparents house. She loves putting the pegs in the holes and loves pressing them so the bounce out. A very simple but successful and well loved toy!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 14 month old loves it. It's good value, simple and fun.

I bought this for my son as I wanted him to have some toys that were wood, not only plastic. He's at the right age to be interested in things that "pop-up" and so this seemed the best of both worlds, and a good price too.He loves it! And it's a big hit with other children that come to visit as well, so far up to age 3.Later I'm sure it will also be helpful for learning and matching colours, but right now he's just enjoying the simple cause and effect. He likes that he can put the pegs in himself and then he can take them out, ping them out, bounce them up and down... Interestingly he's very specific about putting the pegs in the right way around (with the faces at the top end), which is a play/learning element I hadn't even considered.Those pegs do roll though! Maybe the manufacturer could give them slightly flatter sides - like a pencil shaft or something? But until then, keep an eye out that you don't slip over on them, or try and keep track for when they roll under the fridge etc.If you're looking for a well priced, fun, to be much played with present for a 1st birthday - this will tick all of those boxes.

The recipient immediately focussed on removing and replacing the smooth wooden figures. Completely absorbed and the dogs didn’t run off with the figures so a win win!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only baby toy where the baby ignores the box!

D.K.E.P. · 27 December 2007

I'm on baby number 4 so have seen many Christmases and birthdays already. This toy has been on my lists in the past, but somehow always got overlooked until this year. I guess it was on the recommendation of a few friends that the toys was fantastic for babies that made me finally buy it (or, err, was that Santa who bought it???).Anyway, the bottom line is that my 9-month-old truly loves this toy. He even started crawling (finally) so he could reach it. He picks up the pegs, he mouths them, gums them, bangs them together, makes a little hammering action against the pegs that are still in their holes. He picks up the main block and turns it over and over, looking at the holes and the coloured swatches on the side.I presume, as he gets older, he'll start tucking the pegs into the holes and then, even later, learn to launch them from their spring-loaded bases.The toy feels good to hold because it's wooden, and the pegs are such a good size and weight. The little happy faces drawn on them are something that my baby is already responding to, turning the pegs around until he sees them.Best of all, it's made in Cheshire, England. And it's cheaper in England than in the US. (I can tell you that *that's* a surprise!).Bottom line: buy the toy for your first baby. Buy it for your friends' babies. I'm just about to buy one for my nephew who's 6 months old, and wish I'd bought it for my own, older kids before now, so we could have had that much more enjoyment from it.Oh, and the other thing I really like about it? No batteries required.UPDATE: The 9-month old is now almost 4, and he still *loves* this toy! Now the little men talk to each other, and he is very specific about putting the right coloured man in the right coloured hole. He sometimes uses a toy hammer on it, though is quite careful not to hit his men too hard. I just can't believe how CLASSIC this toy really is.

Quality wooden toy

M.M. · 22 October 2022

We got this for our so at about 9-10mo. He is now over 2 and still thinks it a hilarious and fascinating toy.To start with we would make the little stick figures fly to much laughter and surprise. Eventually he could press them down himself, then he learned the technique of making them fly really high. Now he also sorts them by colour.It might look a simple toy but it has staying power!(We have used other similar popping toys but found this the simplest and easiest for younger kids to use as the sticks are all the same length and fit in all holes.)

Excellent

I love how my baby skills improved using this toyInitially he mastered putting the wooden man in opening and then he knew how to let it pop up

Un giochino semplice, ingegnoso e divertente! Approvato anche da bimbi piccini (12+)!

A. · 25 August 2018

The media could not be loaded. Ho preso questo giochino come regalino per una bimba che avrà un anno tra pochi giorni; la bimba è la sorellina di un amichetto di mio figlio, a cui sono molto affezionata, perché dolcissima, curiosa e giocosa! Sapevo che era amante (come la sua mamma!) dei giochini in legno e questo, anche e soprattutto leggendo le recensioni, mi sembrava perfetto! E infatti così è stato...che divertimento appena aperta la confezione! Tutti si sono messi a giocare con lei: mio figlio, l'amichetto di mio figlio (entrambi 7 anni) e la sorellina piccolina. Tutti e tre a giocare insieme con questo regalino, grandi e piccini!La piccola era affascinata inizialmente da come i bimbi facevano saltare i quattro colori...perché serve un pochino di forza e manualità per riuscirci, una bimba di un anno non riesce ma si diverte (assicuro!!) solo prendendoli, manipolandoli, facendoli rotolare a terra (che sorrisi vedendo scivolare i 4 pezzi sul pavimento), e poi ha capito che poteva inserirli nei fori, e quindi, vedendo i bimbi più grandi, ha compreso che potevano essere inseriti al posto giusto (cosi le facevano tutti i complementi), rosso col rosso, giallo col giallo...e cosi via...un pomeriggio a giocare con questi cilindretti colorati, anche solo passandoceli e dicendo in maniera infinita ;-) "grazie, prego!"...è un gioco anche questo!!Una gioia vedere di aver fatto un buon acquisto e oltre tutto tanto apprezzato; in più, ho trovato questa confezione nella categoria Bolo Warehouse Deals con una super offerta e quindi sono ancor più soddisfatta: rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo!In sintesi, 5 stelle per questo piccolo gioco, fatto con materiali naturali; approvato anche da bimbi piccini (12+)! Grazie alle molle interne, i pezzi possono saltare (balza su appunto) ma un bimbo/a di 12 mesi non riesce bene ma vedendo i balzi fatti dai grandi si è tanto divertita! Certo, abbiamo detto "ai grandi" di non mirare sul viso e di stare comunque sempre attenti, come d'altronde indicato sulle avvertenze. Solo il bello quindi di un gioco semplice, ingegnoso e divertente!Aggiungo qualche foto, spero sia utile per valutare meglio un eventuale acquisto. Ciao!

formidable pour les tout petits et les plus grands

C.d. · 2 June 2025

un jeu parfait pour le tout-petits. À l’âge de quatre mois, ils vont tenir les petits bonhommes et rigoler aux éclats lorsqu’ils sautent. Les miens ont fait leurs dents dessus aussi. vers 6-9 mois ils courent apres les bonhommes qui ont sauté partout, vers 1an 18 mois ils reussiront a les remettre dans le support. vers 18 mois-2 ans ils arriveront a les faire sauter. j ai beaucoup offert ce jeux, succes et fou rire a chaque fois, notamment pour les grands freres et soeurs
