The Viga wooden nailing board is perfect for young builders: wooden shapes are tapped onto a cork board with pins and a hammer to make construction vehicles.

This hammer and nail board for kids follows the Montessori approach. It has 45 pieces – wooden shapes, pins, patterns, a cork board and a hammer. Every wooden piece has a hole, and with a pin and the hammer it can be safely tapped onto the board. Using the 10 patterns, children make construction vehicles or arrange shapes from their imagination. The pieces have rounded edges, so play is safe. Nailing builds manual skills, logical thinking and concentration.

What your child develops

• Manual skills. Hammer taps have to be aimed precisely.
• Logical thinking. Shapes are arranged to a pattern.
• Concentration. The pin has to hit the hole.
• Imagination and creativity. Children create their own vehicles.

How to play

Pick a simple pattern and lay the shapes on the board together. Then show how to tap a pin in gently with the hammer.

Once the patterns are mastered, let your child design their own building site.
