About Little Locksmith Joguina Educativa

El Petit Manyà és una joguina educativa de fusta per a infants petits. La joguina combina cinc jocs de claus i panys, cadascun amb una temàtica diferent: animals, fruites, temps meteorològic, vida marina i vehicles. Cada cilindre de pany només accepta una clau, de manera que els infants practiquen el reconeixement de formes i colors. Cada cos de pany té dues finestretes. La finestreta superior mostra objectes relacionats amb la temàtica, i la finestreta inferior mostra una escena corresponent que canvia quan es gira una roda. Cinc contes il·lustrats donen suport a la narració d'històries, i els panys es poden penjar a la paret per guardar-los.
