We gave one of these to a 18 month old grandson a year ago, and he is still playing with it, so we gave another one to a second grandson in a different town. I love that the latches are sturdy, they all function well, and are big enough for little hands to manipulate. The illustrations are a plus, too. So the kids love them, and I love that there is no plastic on this toy!

I really liked this. I almost kept it for myself after buying it. it was soooooooooooo cool! Im a 57 yr.old male ....lol By the way I bought it for a little girl who has down syndrome and is the daughter of my niece. I hope she is playing with it now. The price is good for something this cool!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is educational, it teaches eye/hand coordination, little finger dexterity and teaches them colors. I recommend this toy for children that are very mindfully busy. The latch boards are quality crafted, made of wood and no plastic parts. The toy will be around for all the grandildren, not just the first one!

Nice but way heavier and bulkier than I expected- I imagine my 3 year old grandson will love it anyway

Hi Sylvia: Thank you for taking the time to comment on the Latches Board. We appreciate your feedback and I will be sure to pass it along. Best, Chelsea

All of the latches and locks work just as they do in the real world. The grand kids like to play and find the characters behind the doors. The board is very realistic and could be used by parents and educators helping children adapt to the world around them.
Pros: Durable, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value, Interactive, Realistic
I would recommend this to a friend!

The latch on house 2 is difficult to turn. Maybe if it had more of a tab on it or maybe a rubber gripper it would be more manageable. My kids STILL love this toy even after all these years. My two year old has a GREAT time with it even though it says 3+.
