The Viga PolarB fox – tap, tap, and all the pegs are through to the other side!

This colourful wooden pound-a-peg toy is one every toddler will love. Soft pastel colours and an easy-to-grip hammer encourage little ones to play. The task is to hammer all the pegs into the holes so they go right through the frame to the other side. Once they're all in, flip the toy over and start again. While playing, children develop precise hand movements and dexterity and get better at telling colours apart – precision that will later make learning to write easier, too. The set includes a stand, 6 coloured pegs and a hammer. From 12 months.

What your child develops

• Hand-eye coordination. Hitting the peg.
• Hand dexterity. Hammer moves.
• Colour recognition. Coloured pegs.
• Logical thinking. Flip and start again.

How to play

Name each peg's colour before your toddler hammers it in.
