About Little Locksmith Edukativna igračka

Mali Bravar je drvena edukativna igračka namijenjena maloj djeci. Igračka objedinjuje pet setova ključeva i brava, svaki sa različitom tematikom: životinje, voće, vrijeme, morski svijet i vozila. Svaki cilindar brave prihvata samo jedan ključ, čime djeca uvježbavaju prepoznavanje oblika i boja. Svako tijelo brave ima dva prozorčića. Gornji prozorčić prikazuje predmete povezane s temom, a donji prozorčić prikazuje odgovarajuću scenu koja se mijenja okretanjem točkića. Pet slikovnica podržava pripovijedanje priča, a brave se mogu objesiti na zid radi odlaganja.
