Customer Reviews for Melissa & Doug - Wooden Latches Board

Purchased this to entertain my toddler boy grandson, not quite 2 years old who usually has trouble remaining in place for more than 10-15 minutes at a time unless strapped in his high chair during meal times or his car seat during an outing. This puzzle did what straps couldn't and that was to keep his attention for more than an hour of quiet interactive play with me or his parents to solo play on his own. Not only is this piece very well-constructed but it presents endless teaching moments from how different latches operate to learning colors, numbers, shapes, to building vocabulary, stimulating imagination and to developing problem solving skills.

Great idea and want to love this toy but..

The idea of this toy is fantastic and my son loves it and gets so excited when he plays with it but it is not very durable. he got some slobber on it (as all babies do with their toys) and the picture is just glued onto the wood and is already started peeling and lifting, keep in mind we have only had this toy for a couple hours, a toy this price and recommended for babies who put their mouths on everything should be made a little bit better...... overall my son likes it but I am not impressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Christmas gift for 3 year old grandson. I was so excited to purchase this latch board. My grandson loves to learn and figure things out. This board teaches colors, numbers, counting, animal recognition and hand eye coordination. No pieces to misplace as everything is attached to board. This is a great learning toy. My only complaint is that some of the latches are not as sturdy or well made as I would expect with a Melissa and Doug product. Wondering how long they'll last with continual play. That is the reason why I didn't give it a five star rating. Some improvement could be made.

This is one of my 12 month old's favorite toys! She's too young to do most of the patches, but likes to open and close the doors herself after I undo the different latches for her. Behind the doors are different animals painted in a cute, silly style. It's fun to count them, make the animal noises, talk about the colors and so on. Excellent for open-ended play. My little one received this as a hand-me-down after it went through 3 older cousins, too! Very sturdy and well-made. I always have the Melissa and Doug puzzles we don't already own on her wish list because I know they will be so fun!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Before I start - I'm not a snowflake ! This ridiculous present has at least 3 possibly 4 lock mechanisms that people actively still use to prevent their children getting into/out of things - to teach them how to undo them is Simply dangerous ! Yes a couple , you could argue, would be the parents fault it not padlocked shut 100% of the time - im not here to argue those - we all do it !!! - The most ridiculous of them all the window lock & security door chain - this is not only to keep people out , but keep Little ones in aswell ! I'm sorry as your other products are great
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for my 4 yr old non-verbal autistic nephew. He loves it! So does his 6 yr old brother, my 3 teens, and my mother. Who would have known that one toy would have them all fighting to play with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My 14 month old grandson loves banging around with the latches and opening and closing the doors. Keeps him busy for a long time...

Just the right toy for an active, inquisitive mind. We are learning numbers and having fun with all the latches. Great toy!
