A soft thud, a clack of wood, and another duck topples over.

🎯 Better aim: three bean bags to throw at four wooden ducks fixed to a base board
💪 Big movement: underarm and overarm throws build gross motor skills and balance
👨‍👩‍👧 Family play: works for 1 to 4 players, solo practice or a head-to-head contest
🔢 Number sense: counting ducks down and keeping score builds number recognition
🔇 Quiet landings: bean bags thud softly, so it suits a lounge room or a dry backyard
🧽 Easy care: wipe clean with a damp cloth, no batteries and no setup

The Educator's Note

Throwing at a fixed target gives preschoolers clear feedback on every attempt, which is how aim and gross motor control improve with practice.
Bean bags stay where they land and land quietly, so children spend their time throwing rather than retrieving, and parents can play inside without the noise.
The distance is the difficulty setting. Move the line back and the same game suits a 3 year old and a 7 year old at the same table, with score keeping that builds number recognition.

Four wooden ducks line up on a base board, and three bean bags are all it takes to knock them down. Throws land with a soft thud, so it suits the lounge room as well as a dry backyard. Made for 3 to 5 years, when throwing with aim is still a brand new skill, it gives a clear target and a reason to keep practising. Older siblings can join in too, with up to 4 players.

Also available in a great value bundle

This is a good fit when you want a movement game that doesn't need much space, setup or explanation.

Children aged 3 to 4 years learning to throw with aim and starting to enjoy simple turn-taking games
Children aged 5 to 7 years who want a score to beat, a longer throwing distance and a competitive edge
Families with mixed ages, up to 4 players, where a younger child stands close and an older sibling stands back
Parents looking for a birthday party or backyard game that a group can pick up in seconds

The carnival sideshow, set up in a minute

Four wooden ducks sit side by side on a base board. Step back, wind up and let a bean bag fly. When a duck goes over, you hear the clack and the cheer at almost the same moment.

There are no batteries to charge and nothing to build. Put the board on the floor, hand out the bean bags and the game starts.

What each throw builds

Throwing at a target is real gross motor work. Shoulder, arm and hand have to work together to release the bean bag at the right moment. Stepping closer or further back to adjust the throw builds balance and body awareness along the way.

A bean bag stays put where it lands, so a 3 year old spends their time throwing, not chasing a bouncing ball across the yard. Our educator likes that the challenge is easy to adjust: a short, close line for a first-timer, a big step back for a confident 6 year old.

Taking turns, counting up

With 1 to 4 players, the game brings in turn-taking and handling a miss, which are skills every preschooler is still learning. Keep score and it becomes a quiet lesson in number recognition: how many ducks are down, who has more, and how many to go.

Solo play works too. Many children will happily set themselves a target and try to beat it.

Care and where it goes next

Wipe the ducks and base clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Keep it out of wet grass, rain and dew, and store it indoors when the game is over. From first underarm tosses at 3, it grows into overarm throws and proper scorekeeping at 5 and beyond.
