Latches Board product reviews

My daughter got this puzzle out brand new from our local library recently.

It is on a nice strong wooden board, which does have to stay put either on the ground, or nicely laid out on the table.

The golden locks are quite big, and the latches too, so that her little hands were easily able to work the locks and latches to open and closed positions.

I grade this Melissa & Doug Latches Puzzle Board A+++ , it is a safe puzzle, its vibrant, has an excellent selection of latches to work with, and the best thing i found was, lots of kids came around and loved the latches board too, and i didn't have to worry about them wrecking it, as it is reliably sturdy, and not something that can easily be carried about by little folk, but instead respected and in awed with from little eyes!

Totally love Melissa and Doug products!

I absolutely love this "puzzle board" and so does my two year old daughter. At this stage she can open 5 of the locks, the only lock she can't open is number 2 as it is very stiff. The colours on the board are very vibrant, and I think this is a great teaching tool not just for counting, but colours and animals too, as under each door is a number of animals hiding just waiting to be counted. ie: 2 blue dogs or 6 orange fish.
The only issue I have is that it teaches children to open locks, so if you find this a bad thing then it's not the toy for you. But you never know, your child might need to unlock a door one day to help save a life.
