Hammer Bench

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.

Children are fascinated by the bright colors and the joy of hammering the pegs up and down. It feels like play but quietly builds important developmental skills.
