Fantastic Fine Motor Toy!

My 2 year old loves this! She quickly learned how to manipulate the latches. It's also great for learning colors, numbers, animals and animal sounds! Every preschool classroom should have one of these on their manipulatives shelf!
Pros: Durable, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wooden Latches Board was a gift for my great-nephew, Oliver. His mother said he "just loved it and was very excited to open it upon delivery". She also said "Oliver started working on it right away." I'm so happy that I saw the board at our local Firestone store. Your 'learning' toys are great!! Thankyou

I got this for my son, and even though he's only /almost/ 2, it is one of his all time favorites. he likes me to hold the board for him while he works at the latches. he can't quite get the window latch, but most of the others are doable. The one we have is slightly different, it appears to be based on farm scenery, but at any rate, it's awesome. Totally cute.
Pros: Entertaining, Fun, Interactive, Realistic
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've called..and they are to be sending me a different puzzle..it had a scratch on the wood and painted over it. I sent a picture...so was disappointed...but happy they resolved the matter.

Not safe

Verified Purchase:No
I don't think this is a very good educational toy. In my eyes it is teaching/showing kids how to undo locks and latches that we use to keep them safe at home. Such as the window latch. I have a two year old grandson and all I need him to do is climb up on the window sill and undo the latch just like on the toy board! They need to think of something else that doesn't have anything to do with safety.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The wooden toys made by Melissa and Doug have been a staple for our grandkids for years. Now another generation of little fingers is being enticed. Their toys never wear out because they are top notch materials, well made, and educational. Customer service is as top notch as their toys.

This is a gift that has not been delivered to its little owner as yet. I was very pleased when it arrived at my house. It is a great learning toy plus being, I hope, a lot of fun. Very well made. And, I think it would pique any child's interest.
