Pound a Ball

Clear front allows a child to hammer a ball through one of four holes and track its progress down a series of inclines and out a door. Raised rims around the holes guide placement and encourage color matching. Some visually impaired children prefer to push the balls through the holes with their palms. Because this requires more strength than hammering, children will generally kneel to give themselves leverage.
