My rating of Latches Board Posted 9/26/2008
Our 19-month-old daughter loves this one. The latches are great, mounted well. The little doors that open and have critters to count is great as well. If your child is getting interested in doors and locks around the house, then they'll definitely like this activity board.
A rating of Latches Board Posted 10/20/2008 by Ginni Pedigo - EDUCATOR
this is a great toy. My students are mentially challenged and most of them have fine motor skill problems so this is really great for them. My 5 year old had to work on a couple of the locks to figure them out. This is a great product and well worth the money I paid for it which I thought was reasonable.
Accurate, but not "appealing" Posted 10/22/2009 by Rebecca Owens
This is a great product! Not only is it excellent for fine motor practice, and fun for the child (my grandson is 18 months old), it is colorful and visually attractive. I was a preschool teacher, and my husband and I created a similar board for my classroom. The kids loved the activity, but my board was not so colorful. This one is well constructed, and my grandson will love it! He enjoys latching his carseat, his father's briefcase, and his high chair belt, so the timing of this board is perfect. I am very impressed by the level of quality of the Melissa and Doug latches board, and wouldn't hesitate to purchase other items by this manufacturer.
Great Puzzle! Posted 10/16/2008 by Joelle - HOMESCHOOL
A Terrific Puzzle! My son Loves to play with all of the latches, opening and closing each compartment! Beautifully made, terrific colors, shapes and he is very curious for all of the little surprises of animals and numbers inside each 'house'!
Great Item Posted 8/11/2008 by Shawn Van Dyke
This product held the interest of our 18-month-old. I was looking for toys to keep him entertained for a long car trip; he really enjoyed manipulating the various items on the latches board.
Grandson's Favorite Posted 6/1/2010 by Susan Poirier
A great idea for a puzzle. My 19 month old grandson loves it. Unfortunately, one of the puzzle pieces was closed so tightly that his father had to pry it open with a screwdriver and has to sand it down quite a bit for it to work properly.
Great toy for toddler Posted 2/25/2010 by Dallas Mom
I got this for my 16-month old and it was an instant hit. She initially got a little frustrated at not being able to open certain latches herself, but over time, she perfected them all. The hardest to open for her was the second one (blue dogs). Parental supervision is needed for this toy, especially if the users are as young as mine because fingers can get caught easily. A great toy and I would recommend it. Great at teaching colors and numbers.
GREAT BOARD FOR ALL AGES!! Posted 8/26/2009 by Elizabeth Priestley
We love this latch board. Both my one year old and my 3 year old fight over it b/c they love opening and closing the doors. My 3 year old can do all the latches as well. It keeps her busy for long car rides. Very god quality
love the latches board Posted 8/3/2009 by Rae Meadows
My daughter (20 months) loves the latches board. Fun with colors, numbers, animals and opening and closing the latches themselves. Highly recommended
Favorite toy! Posted 3/21/2009 by Mariah Long
The Latches Board keeps my 2 yr old entertained for long periods of time and many times throughout the day, as he continually returns to it. He even tried to drag it along with us the first day it came. Although the latches are metal, which may bother parents, if they were plastic or some other material kids wouldn't be as drawn to play with it. Just like when you give them a fake phone or keys and they still insist on playing with the real thing. Some of the latches are more challenging than others, which means that they can develop mastery skills and it will be a gift they can grow with. Totally worth the money, I recommend it to all my friends. One last note, my son is very coordinated and is really into the mechanics of things, taking stuff apart, screwing things together, and so on, so I am sure kids who have similar interests will enjoy it the best, however, this is a great toy to build fine motor skills in any child.
Love it Posted 3/11/2010 by Lisa Williams
Love the board, nice size. It's bigger than a wooden puzzle but not too big. The #2 latch is a little tough, but he manages to get it. Good quality and attention-keeping toy.
A rating of Latches Board Posted 11/18/2009 by Gail Gundersen - GRANDPARENT
The latches board was very high quality. All of the hinges and latches were brass. My grandson is only 15 months old and the age for this toy was 3+. However, he loved opening and closing all the doors. He can learn his colors and numbers with this board as well. This is a toy he can have fun with now and grow into the latching parts as he gets older. I would recommend this toy to anyone. I was very happy with it and so was my grandson.
Review for Latches Board Posted 12/25/2011 by Jennifer Rice Epstein
We bought this toy for our 3-year-old son. The learning curve at that age is pretty short. I'm not sure whether this toy will be played with often. One of the latches didn't latch properly so, in light of its simplicity, we decided to return rather than exchange it. It would probably be ideal for a 2-year-old.
Fun and challenging Posted 11/8/2011 by Carolyn Wallen - GRANDPARENT
Our 22-month-old grandson is fascinated with latches, knobs and opening and closing doors. He loves all the different ways the doors open. He hasn't mastered all of them but he has fun trying. It's good for hand-eye and small motor skills practice.
Review for Latches Board Posted 8/18/2010 by Kimberley Patterson
This "puzzle" is very sturdy and well constructed. The colors are vibrant and engaging. My twins (31 months - boy and girl) have played with it extensively so far with no signs of slowing. This is a great toy to work on "sharing" and taking turns as each task has a defined beginning and end. Children can also play simultaneously making it versatile depending on the ages and cooperation level of the children playing. Especially nice - no pieces to lose! It is a little heavy (wood construction) if dropped on a toe so caution is advised. That said, I wouldn't change this product in ANY way. It lives up to the Melissa & Doug branding and is fabulous.
My almost 3 year old loved it!!! Posted 3/3/2010 by bobby coon
He played with it the entire first day he got it. he even took it to his montessori school the next day and shared it with his class. His teacher loved it also!
Review of Latches Board Posted 10/11/2009 by Loretta Apel
The latches board look great. I bought it for a gift and am very happy with the quality of the board and latches. I know my nephew is only to love opening and closing all the doors - some of the latches will be a challenge for a while which is great and I think he will get many year of fun out of it.
A rating of Latches Board Posted 9/10/2009
Great product - well designed and manufactured. I got it for my 11-month old because she showed so much interest in the latches holding curtain rods for the windows by my front door. She likes the latches board now and I know it will be even more intriguing to her when she is a little older.
Latches Board Posted 6/24/2008 by Gail F
A couple of the latches were a little bit difficult for my grandson to open. He just turned two. It is important not to leave the board face up on the floor so no one accidentally steps on it with bare feet. He seems to really enjoy playing with it!
Wouldn't purchase again Posted 7/2/2012
I thought this would be a great item because she loves opening things up. However, most of the latches aren't challenging. One latch is so hard to open that I have a hard time doing it. Obviously since the board lays flat, the doors don't swing open but the doors blend together so my little one (I don't think) has even opened them. This was a great concept but didn't work for us.
Great Toy Posted 6/24/2012 by Kathy
My 2 year old nephew loves this toy. He likes the challenge of opening the locks and then loves to see what's behind the door. This reinforces his numbers and colors.
Latches Posted 6/12/2012 by Jessica Zartman
The product is very sturdy, colorful, imaginative, and fun for kids. My son is 1 and has a limited attention span, I think he will be more excited about the toy in a few months.
A great educational toy Posted 6/11/2012
My son (2 yrs) loves to play with this toy and likes to open and close latches. He also likes the hide and seek option of this toy. I would recommend it to others.
Review of Latches Board Posted 11/15/2011 by Beth Graber
Our 12 month old (who loves to open cabinets and drawers) is loving playing with this. I suspect she will be playing with it for a while.
Latches Board Posted 10/29/2011 by Carol Porter
Gift for my turning two Granddaughter. I packed it up to bring home until gifting her. The Daddy wanted to keep it. He enjoyed it as much as she did. We liked the animals and numbers detailing. The latches are all wonderful for little fingers.
Review for Latches Board Posted 10/21/2011 by Judy Miller
So far none of my friends or family has ever seen a toy quite like this. Bought it for my almost one year grandson. His mother is a teacher of profoundly mentally handicapped children and she approved so that's good enough for me.
Both kids love it! Posted 7/17/2011 by Erica Wiggins
Purchased the latches board for my two year old. She wasn't really interested in it, but her four year old sister won't put it down! She ignored most of the people at her sister's birthday party because she was so enticed with this toy!
Review of Latches Board Posted 5/24/2011 by Leslie Dunham
When I put the toy out for my 1yr old, she will play with it until I take it away (5min). I have to supervise her while she plays with it because it is meant for older kiddo's and there is one particular swivel latch that could pinch her little fingers. Even with older kiddo's I wouldn't let them play with it unsupervised because even an adult could pinch a finger with this particular latch. It might be bad if you don't want to teach your LO to open latches of all kinds, but that's why it's so interesting, because it looks like trouble to them I think. With all the little latches, and links it must seem interesting. I think she will enjoy it more when she get's a bit older. I put it up for time being.
My rating of Latches Board Posted 4/27/2011 by Sandra - GRANDPARENT
I purchased the Latches Board for my grandson's 2nd birthday. Immediately he was intrigued, which put an end to him opening the rest of his presents! He loves trying to figure out how to get the different latches open to see the picture underneath.
Review of Latches Board Posted 11/26/2010
I've purchaced the latches product for my great-grandsons's Christmas. He hasn't seen it yet, but his grandfather, who is headmaster of a prominent private school for pre-k thru 8 has seen it and was the one who recommended it We have thought about the idea of putting removable pictures of members of our family behind the openings of the 6 houses for his further amusement
S King from Australia Posted 11/7/2010 by Surene King
Gets attention from both the 2 year old and 5 year old! Excellent product. Worth getting it from the US all the way to Oz.
definitely a worthwhile toy Posted 7/22/2010 by Mom
My two year old (25 monnths) played with this for over half an hour when we first got it. The toy continues to hold his attention, llikely because some of the latches are easy, but some are more challenging. He also enjoys naming the animals inside each door. The toy seems heavy duty and well made, the latches very solid and make a rather satisfying "clink" when snapped into place. Great for motor skills and observation/counting.
Product review of Latches Board Posted 11/11/2009 by Teresa Myrick
My 2 year old loves this toy. She was getting into trouble opening door and cabinets just to see what was inside so this toy fixed her curiosity. I love that there are no pieces to loose!!!

Board was bigger and nicer than I had anticpated from the picture-- gotta love plesant surprises!

Grandson hasn't quit playing with it yet!!
Information about Latches Board Posted 7/7/2009
My two year old enjoys this a lot. He is at the age where he wants to open and close different things and this latch board provides him with the perfect opportunity to do just that.
Product review of Latches Board Posted 6/23/2009 by lee m lazzara
Two of the latches are not easy to operate- need to be positioned a certain way in order to operate properly.
Information about Latches Board Posted 2/10/2009 by Linda Hough - GRANDPARENT
Very high quality - lots of fun. My 4 year old and 1 year old grandchildren both play with it.
Awewome Toy! Posted 12/8/2008 by Dana Raughton
The latches board is great! My 2 year old is very mechanically inclined and loves locks. So, this was a perfect toy for him!
Unique Toy Posted 8/27/2008
I found this toy to be very unique; different from the regular puzzles, shape sorters, or "push button" toys for young children. It surely looks different to my young child, and helps to develops fine motor skills.
Well worth it Posted 8/7/2008 by David Cooper
The Melissa and Doug Latches Board is a great toy. My 16 month old son really enjoys the challenge of the locks, the beautiful colors of the board, and the surprise pals underneath the doors. The board is solid and though the latches seem "light" they seem durable enough for the job also. My only complaint with this toy, and is fairly commonplace with Melissa and Doug toys, is that one of the latches (the middle top latch) is very difficult to turn. M and D toys (I have a few others) sometimes put out toys that are difficult in their function. However, let me also note that any troubles I have had with M and D can easily be solved by their excellent support. I received a replacement for a different item within minutes over the phone and minimal personal information. That being said, this toy may not be the most phenomenal toy in terms of quality but on the whole, for the price, the overall quality and excellent customer service, it is definitely worth the purchase.
Latches Board and Basic Skills Board Posted 9/14/2009 by Carolsue Hai
Both toys are beautifully made and look very sturdy to withstand rambunctious play. They are intelligently designed and I am very excited about giving the Basic Skills board to my granddaughter this coming weekend. I am saving the Latches Board for Christmas. I had finished this review box and was finishing the review scoring the Fat Brain Toy list at the bottom and had to come back up here and say that under the heading "encourages family participation" I can see Rowan's four year old sister wanting to commandeer these toys from her one and half year old sister. :-)
Product review of Latches Board Posted 7/15/2012 by jill h
Great product! Well made- love that it's wood! So interesting with all the hooks and latches, but a bit hard for her to do independently at 13 months.

Great Puzzle Posted 5/22/2012

My 2 yr old enjoys playing with it. He loves to play peekaboo game. He knocks on the doors and then try to unlock the doors.

interactive, challenging
Review of Latches Board Posted 12/30/2011 by Judy
Doesn't play with it quite as much as I expected, but does play with it a lot, if that makes any sense. It's a very solid and well-made toy, too. Great for if you have a toddler who is endlessly fascinated by manipulating items.
Best selection and value Posted 11/27/2011 by Oma
This is the second Latches Board I have purchased for one of my grandchildren. The first one is still being used and after 2 years is still in good shape. I love to watch the 2-3 year olds trying to figure out the latches and the surprise when the door opens.
Review for Latches Board Posted 11/16/2011 by Caren Troester
Love the concept! It mimics those things that he is drawn to, but which are not necessarily safe to play with.
Latch Board Posted 10/24/2011 by Beckie Glause
This is the second grand daughter that I have bought this for and both really enjoy playing with it. The open and shut doors are very entertaining to kids and the locks just make it even better.
Information about Latches Board Posted 10/3/2011 by Ashleigh
I purchased this toy for my son's first birthday. He's still a little young to fully work all the latches, but seems to enjoy the attempt. I may regret getting my child a toy that helps him get into things, but at least for right now, it's a hit in our house.
Great Fun! Posted 9/29/2011 by BETH SONDERUP
My 15 month old niece loved to open and close everything.
Loves the Latches Posted 8/10/2011 by Linda Bohlinger
I purchased this for my 12 month old grandson - It was rated for not under 3 years, however, he can only play with it under supervision, and he is manipulating all of the latches and learning. I would think 3 years old would be far too old to start this. The board can be used in numerous ways, as far as colors, shapes, numbers, animals, offering much more value than just the latches, My daughter said...thanks for teaching him how to get every kind of latch open thus creating a little master of escape:) This is great for fine motor skills and provides such a sense of accomplishment!
great idea! Posted 5/16/2011 by jennifer
Our 19 month old loves keys,locks, latches, etc. This board is a great idea having different latches and doors that open up to reveal animals(w/ varying colors) all on one toy. I think he'll be able to play w/ this for a long time.
A rating of Latches Board Posted 3/17/2011
The blocks and latches board are used daily and are a BIG HIT!!! Overall I am pleased with the experience & the advice on top toys to purchase for a one year old.
Latches Board Posted 3/16/2011
I bought this toy for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It's perfect for her (a little challenging but not enough to cause frustration). She doesn't play with it all the time but when she rediscovers it is very entertained.
My rating of Latches Board Posted 3/15/2011
I bought this for my sons first birthday. I wasn't going to give it to him until his party but he noticed it right away. He enjoys playing with it.
Will be buying this for future presents! Posted 3/14/2011 by ERIN D PEDERSEN
My son is 16 months old and really likes to open and shut the doors. 4 of the 6 latches he can figure out, the other 2 he is working on. But in general, he is truly fascinated with this board. He typically will play with it a couple times a day for 10 minutes or more each time.

This was a gift but my daughter received the same item for Christmas and loves it. She's 16 months old. She loves opening and closing the doors to reveal the animals.

My 2yr old grandson is fascinated with this toy. He is totally hands on!! Loves it.
My rating of Latches Board Posted 12/26/2010 by Becky Gratalo
It is a great product for 18 month olds up to 4 years old. There are different abilities that can be used for any level, so as the child grows they discover new things that they can do. For example, you can start off with colors and counting and progress to opening/closing some latches to all latches.
Latch Board Posted 12/23/2010 by Renella Shelby - GRANDPARENT
We had early Christmas last night. My two-year old grandson will not put this toy down. It is just amazing to watch their eyes try to unlock each latch and say what color and number is in each window. This is a very good sturdy gift for any child between ages 2-4. The other grandson, who is 5, enjoyed it also.
Latches Board Posted 12/8/2010 by Marion - GRANDPARENT
My grandson was intrigued with the different kinds of latches and locks on the board, and to see what was behind each one. He plays with it at least once to twice a day so far.
My rating of Latches Board Posted 12/7/2010 by Kim Phillips
excellent - my son plays with frequently and is getting very excited about figuring out the different latches
Very entertaining for 2 yr old Posted 5/27/2010 by Kristen Poulin
Captivating for my 2 year old boy. An excellent distraction to keep him away from testing the security of the safety locks in the kitchen, although I am concerned that his improved dexterity will lead to trouble once he learns how to open more things.
Product review of Latches Board Posted 2/4/2010 by Karina D Tinnes
This is a very high quality toy. I have not found a Melissa and Doug item that has been poor quality. Great item for teaching small motor skills.
Review for Latches Board Posted 1/11/2010 by Anne Cunningham - GRANDPARENT
This was bought for an 18-month-old. He spends a lot of time working with these latches. His curiosity is endless.
Review for Latches Board Posted 12/28/2009 by Benjianna Schomer - RELATIVE
I purchased two of these Latch Boards for my nephew's, ages 2 and 2 1/2, for Christmas. Upon opening the gift, they both yelped in excitement! Both eagerly asked for the toy to be opened, and played happily, even though there were more items to open. I thought the product was well made, and I am very happy with my purchase.
Great toy! Posted 12/16/2009 by Alicia Winey - GRANDPARENT
I purchased this toy along with several others for my 18 month old grandson for Christmas and some to stay at my house. This toy will be staying at Nanny's. Some of the latches were a little hard for him but with my help he enjoyed opening and closing the doors and seeing the surprise inside. This toy will last for through many grandchildren.
latches board Posted 11/16/2009 by cole rossi
Our son just turned 1 year old and already likes playing with the latches board. He can only open 1 of the hooks so far but he likes playing with the other ones and trying to get them open. We hide cheerios in door he can open and he is surprised when he gets his treat.

Great product, my grandson is enjoying it very much.
Great idea Posted 8/27/2009
I was really excited to order this latches board for my inquisitive 14 month old. Although she may be a little too young to unlatch everything yet, I'm hoping that this board will keep her entertained for many more months. So I think this is a great toy for an 18 mos to 2+ year old. We were hoping that our daughter would try to unlatch this toy rather than try to un-babyproof the house...no guarantees:)
Review of Latches Board Posted 7/19/2009 by joanne rosten
i think product is good - but my daughter will not let my grandson play with it now because she feels, and i agree, that teaching him how to open locks is probably not a good idea - can get in lots of trouble
My son loved this Posted 7/8/2009 by Bradley Craig
I couldn't get the board out the packaging fast enough. My 18 month old HAD to put his hands on it - quickly. The Latches Board is well made with metal latches that aren't flimsy at all. The colors are vibrant and attention grabbing. The only fault I could find - and I had to work hard - is that some of the latches, when open, can prevent some of the doors from opening completely. Obviously not a big deal - well worth the price we paid.
baby gift Posted 6/17/2009 by jill jackson - FRIEND
It was a gift for another 1 year old girl, but I plan on purchasing one for my 1+ daughter with the $5 gift cert! It looked like a great product.
My rating of Latches Board Posted 4/1/2009 by Erin Hatzis
I purchased this toy for my 14 month old twins (boy/girl) and upon presentation of the toy to them they showed immediate interest. The toy is a bit too advanced for the stage they are at but the like to play with the latches. It is a very well constructed toy.
Educational and Fun! Posted 7/7/2008 by Sharmin Panjvani
My daughter saw this toy in the lobby of her art class and she wanted so much to play with it but the other kids wouldn't share so I ordered it for her. She has played with it every day since it arrived! She loves opening and closing the locks and has memorized what is behind each door! Some of the locks are trickier than others but she keeps trying till she moves on or asks for help. She is 28 months and this toy is perfect for her! The item had a few scratches and dust but was still wrapped in plastic so most likely a manufacturer issue.

The Latches board was a gift for our grandniece on her 2nd birthday. We haven't talked with her family since her party on Sunday but when she opened it you could tell her fingers and mind were itching to get hands on it. Party attendees adults and children were attracted to the board. Many comments as to were we got it and - we never seen anything like that. I did tell them about FatBrain website. Also, how quickly my order was delivered!!!
Great product! Posted 8/21/2012 by Heather Williams

a great toy for a first year bday - it will have value for a long time and still caught his interest enough to try opening and closing all of them at this age (1)

Fun time Posted 4/15/2012 by Jessica
This puzzel has so many different ways you can play with it. Counting, latches, colors, animals-so many things to name and learn. My other plus is that the pieces are all hinged, so it is not one of the many puzzels in my house missing 1 piece.
Flawless experience with Fatbrain as usual Posted 4/11/2012
Our son is a little young to play with this as intended, but he is curious and plays with the easier latches. He likes the sound and I assume the ability to yank on these latches. My wife and I love the colors and sturdiness of the product as we are finding out our son is quite rough on his toys. This one seems like it will hold up for a long time.
The best buy Posted 4/10/2012 by Carolyn Anderson
A three year old boy, who was neglected as his parents were online, picked up the latch board and played with it for an hour. This boy could have been a problem in the library, but he was not at all.

I love the quality of the products that I ordered. The latches puzzle and the puzzle teaching basic skills in using buttons, zippers etc is sturdy, colorful, fun and large enough for little hands in training to use.

Is challanging, includes different levels so my child will succeed at some and try to learn the more difficult ones without getting frustrated.
Review for Latches Board Posted 2/27/2012 by David Gaines
Once my daughter gets her hands on it, she does start playing with it, and is pretty focused on it, but she's barely 18 months and this toy is probably better suited for older children (perhaps 2 or 3) who can figure out how the different latches lock and unlock the doors. Overall, though, we are completely satisfied with it, and can tell how this toy will be one of her faves once she gets to an age where she has more dexterity and can understand how it works. It does come highly recommended, if your child is between 2 and 3 years old.
Information about Latches Board Posted 2/25/2012 by Kelly Lincoln
My daughter is still a little too young for this toy, but she still LOVES it because it looks and sounds so interesting to her. She loves to explore with the different latches and open and close the flaps. I like how it has numbers, animals, and colors to it so that I can work on teaching her those concepts soon.

It is a toy that is totally different! Not only is it top quality, it helps to improve the child's finger nimbleness too.

This is a bright and colorful puzzle with fun locks and latches to open and close. I bought this for my 18 month old granddaughter to play with because let's face it all kids love to unhook locks and latches! It is well made and not to heavy and the doors open to show a variety of animals hiding inside. She is not quite old enough to open all the doors on her own but she is catching on quickly and loves playing with the puzzle.

This was for a one year old who is into and onto everything. When holding him one day to look out a window, he kept 'playing' with the window lock, pushing and pulling it. That's when I thought the latches board would be great for him. His older brother , just turned 3, spends a lot of time with the board, too.

A great Melissa and Doug test. Not only are there latches, hinges, etc. The puzzle has a good way of teaching colors, numbers, and animals.

This was a Christmas gift for my 15 month old grandson. This was one of his favorite gifts. He plays with it quite often.

Bought for a capuchin monkey, in training to assist a disabled person. He loves it and is working great, teaching him to not only open locks but to close them, and to locate a specific color.

We got this for our 18 month old grandson for Christmas. He loved it and our other grandchildren did as well. They range in age from 1 to 8 (12 of them). They all tried it, but I noticed our 5 year old granddaughter seemed to play with it the most.
Product review of Latches Board Posted 12/29/2011
11 month old rec'd for Christmas gift. Loved it, and kept playing with it for several minutes. Big brother, 3, also liked it and was able to figure out how the latches worked.
Latches Board is Awesome Posted 12/28/2011
This board is good for a variety of ages - my son is 11 months old and loves opening and closing the doors. My niece and nephew are 2 and a half and love figuring out all the latches. And my oldest nephew is 4 and has memorized what is behind every door. Definitely a hit!

This was purchased for a 17-month old--even though it is recommended for three and up. Our 17-month old already likes to work on latches, levers, and knobs. I thought this was a way to do it, in a sheltered, safe way.

Latches are easy to maneuver yet still challenging to the child. Like that there are different colors, numbers and animals under the doors.

Loves to play with the latches board. Helps with problem solving skills! Especially fun for him because it teaches him to open "big kid" doors!

I have a three year old and an 18 month old, both boys. They don't seem to play with the board a whole lot by themselves but will sit for hours with me or Dad and play with it. I believe it is a great toy as it makes the boys think about how the latches will work to open each door.

This is a great learning toy. I had heard good things about the Latch Board, but it is beyond my expectation. I'll recommend this many times.
BUSY BOX LATCHES BOARD Posted 12/26/2011 by toni collins
This was purchased as a gift for pet primates. It is a perfect gift for them as they are always needing toys to add enrichment. I also bought one for my grandson who has MS. He is 2 and will find this entertaining as well.
Review of Latches Board Posted 12/26/2011 by Paula Anderson
Our 15 mo old received this product as a Christmas present, so there are lots of other toys competing for his attention. but, it looks like he will have lots of fun with it over the coming months. the only criticism I can offer so far is that some of the latches seem stiff to operate and I'm hoping there won't be any pinched fingers.

The quality of the locks and hinges shocked me! I was expecting them to be a lighter metal and not constructed as strong as it was- many other toys from other companies just do not compare to this! Highly recommend!

Good product. Great quality, colorful, great design. As advertised great for my 2 year old grandson. He is fascinated with the latches and works them over and over.
A rating of Latches Board Posted 12/19/2011 by George Currier
This item (latches) is one of those 'once in a lifetime' purchases because its extremely well thought out and made. Sturdy - I doubt if a child could ever break it. It captured my great-grandson's attention immediately and kept him occupied for a long while as he opened and closed the latches repeatedly. (His parents weren't as enamored over the gift because it taught the child how to open latches that they had hoped would remain a mystery for a few more months!!). Highly recommend this item for children in the 2 year-old range.

I bought this toy for my 14 months child. Probably a bit early for him but he occasionally plays with it though he can't open all the latches yet. I think its time will come in a few months. The quality is rather good. Each latch is unique. But I will disagree with that it is ideal toy on long road trips or airplane flights due to its weight, the toy is rather heavy. And I would prefer the animals to have natural colouring.
