Fun for Preschoolers
We purchased this item for our preschool class and the kids LOVE it! We don't use the reproducible patterns, we just give the kids a basket of the "nails" and let them pound away! We can fit four kids around it so we had to borrow hammers from our tool bench area. You can replace the foam cover and ...we usually replace it only once or twice per year. Go ahead and buy the replacement when you order so you'll have it on hand! I don't agree with the age recommendation of 8 and up. I think 4 and up is better!

Poor design
The idea of this is great for kids. However, I returned this because once you begin to pound pegs through the foam and the foam becomes full of holes, it's ruined. Your child just ends up hammering the pegs through the existing holes and it takes the fun out of this activity. Not to mention that ...part of this toys purpose is to build gross and fine motor skills and when you easily pound a peg into an existing hole, well it defeats this purpose. A possible solution to improve this product is to have replacement foam that you can change after the old one becomes covered in holes. But it may not be worth it as it would be a waste of material and you would have to pay to buy replacement foam.
