  • Pounding play also provides for the release of energy in a positive way.
  • The resulting rolling action teaches cause and effect, the gateway to problem-solving and experimentation.
  • Learn object permanence, with the balls disappearing and reappearing on the track.
  • Turn the flag on back to block the balls on the track.
