Teaches: counting from 1 to 20, up and down

CTR Review

This durable plastic hammer has a large rubber button that lights up and counts when the hammer comes in contact with something. It's a great idea, but has one big problem. The counting doesn't keep up with the hammering. That, along with the fact that Bob keeps saying "Can we build it?" seems to try to limit the child's pace of the hammering. We think the child should lead, not the technology. Uses 3 AAA batteries (included).
