About Little Locksmith Función Principal: Xoguete Educativo

Texto do Libro: Little Locksmith é un xoguete educativo de madeira para nenos pequenos. O xoguete combina cinco conxuntos de chaves e pechaduras, cada un cun tema diferente: animais, froitas, tempo meteorolóxico, vida mariña e vehículos. Cada cilindro de pechadura acepta só unha chave, polo que os nenos practican o recoñecemento de formas e cores. Cada corpo de pechadura ten dúas ventás. A ventá superior amosa obxectos relacionados co tema, e a ventá inferior amosa unha escena correspondente que cambia ao xirar unha roda. Cinco libros ilustrados apoian a narración de historias, e as pechaduras pódense colgar na parede para o seu almacenamento.
