What Is This Toy?​

Who remembers this clunky, colorful little contraption that had every kid feeling like a carpenter? You’d grab the wooden mallet, line up those rainbow pegs, and hammer away like you were fixing the whole house, only to flip it over and start again! Did you have one of these classic benches sitting by the toy box? What was this toy called? Take a swing below. Found something that made you feel nostalgic? We’d love to see it!

I couldn’t tell you what it was called. When my 2 year younger brother got this for a birthday present. My folks couldn’t handle the pounding sound so it disappeared by the following morning. He seemed to forget that he ever had it. Oh the mean tricks parents pull on innocent children!
