About Little Locksmith Edukacinis žaislas

„Little Locksmith" – tai medinis edukacinis žaislas mažiems vaikams. Žaislą sudaro penki raktų ir spynų rinkiniai, kurių kiekvienas turi skirtingą temą: gyvūnus, vaisius, orus, jūros gyvūniją ir transporto priemones. Kiekvienas spynos cilindras tinka tik vienam raktui, todėl vaikai lavina formų ir spalvų atpažinimo įgūdžius. Kiekvienas spynos korpusas turi du langelius. Viršutiniame langelyje matomi su tema susiję objektai, o apatiniame langelyje – atitinkama scena, kuri pasikeičia pasukus ratuką. Penkios paveikslėlių knygelės padeda kurti pasakojimus, o spynas galima pakabinti ant sienos laikymui.
