About Little Locksmith Opvoedkundige Speelding

Little Locksmith is 'n houten opvoedkundige speelding vir jong kinders. Die speelding kombineer vyf stelle sleutels en slotte, elk met 'n unieke tema: diere, vrugte, weer, seelewe en voertuie. Elke slotsilinder aanvaar slegs een sleutel, sodat kinders vorm- en kleurherkenning kan oefen. Elke slotliggaam het twee venstertjies. Die boonste venster wys voorwerpe wat met die tema verband hou, en die onderste venster wys 'n bypassende tafereel wat verander wanneer 'n wieletjie gedraai word. Vyf prenteboeke ondersteun storievertelling, en die slotte kan teen 'n muur opgehang word vir berging.
