About Little Locksmith Pedagogisk leke

Little Locksmith er en pedagogisk leke i tre for små barn. Leken kombinerer fem sett med nøkler og låser, hvert med et eget tema: dyr, frukt, vær, havliv og kjøretøy. Hver låssylinder passer kun til én nøkkel, slik at barna øver på å gjenkjenne former og farger. Hver låskropp har to vinduer. Det øverste vinduet viser gjenstander knyttet til temaet, mens det nederste vinduet viser en tilhørende scene som endres når et hjul dreies. Fem bildebøker støtter opp under historiefortellingen, og låsene kan henges på veggen for oppbevaring.
