Unique Properties: This is an industry-leading wooden educational toy with the combination of five sets of key and lock about different themes. It can not only provide interactive fun for parents and children, but also meet the requirements of children's multiple cognitive training, so as to develop and cultivate their imagination and manipulative ability. Besides, its exquisite appearances can help children understand the world more accurately.
Dimensions & Packaging: This product is cleverly designed with distinct animal-related elements at the lock handle, which is consistent with the cute animal shape on the key. The choice of bright colors is matched with contrasting color design, which not only attracts children's attention, but also integrates various cognitive exercises to save users' purchase costs.

Production Technology: It fully combines cognition training and storytelling: the body of each lock has two windows that can be opened, the top window is the objects about the theme, and the bottom window is corresponding scene. For example, a snowflake and snowmen are on the top, while scenes of making snowmen are on the bottom.
Design Challenge: More importantly, the appearance of lock can be hung on the wall to perfectly blend into the indoor environment, which is also easy to store in daily life, bringing users a caring experience.
Research: Reference to children cognitive science
Inspiration: This product is inspired by key-switch: the five lock cylinders match keys of different shapes and colors, only the correct key can open it, which helps with the shape and color recognition of children. What's more, the five locks correspond to cognition of animals, fruits, weather, marine life and vehicles, including cognitive exercises for children under 3 years old, which can effectively enlighten and exercise their coordination ability of eye and hand.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2021 in China
Operation Flow: In addition, parents can display different scenes by turning the scroll wheel in the bottom window, so that they can lead their children to find and identify the designated objects in the scene, and also tell them various interesting stories according to five attached picture-books.
