About Little Locksmith Mali Bravar

Mali Bravar je drvena edukativna igračka za malu djecu. Igračka kombinira pet setova ključeva i lokota, svaki s drugačijom temom: životinje, voće, vrijeme, morski život i vozila. Svaki cilindar lokota prihvaća samo jedan ključ, tako da djeca vježbaju prepoznavanje oblika i boja. Svako tijelo lokota ima dva prozorčića. Gornji prozorčić prikazuje predmete povezane s temom, a donji prozorčić prikazuje odgovarajuću scenu koja se mijenja okretanjem kotačića. Pet slikovnica podržava pripovijedanje priča, a lokoti se mogu obješiti na zid za pohranu.
