Maybe it’s the fact that the latches are “real” metal, working latches… maybe it’s the clever little animals and numbers inside each house… or maybe it’s the kid-preferred graphics…
Whatever the reason, we know for a fact - this latches board by Melissa & Doug gets played with over and over again.
An excellent toy for early learning classrooms. Lots of fun for children with developmental delays and disabilities.
This inviting latches board gives toddlers and children with developmental & fine motor challenges a workout - but they love every single minute!
Inquisitive minds are busy at work - fingers coordinate to grasp and pull, twist and turn, open and shut, open and shut, open and shut. Something about metal latches intrigues kids. Latches Boards entertain kids for long spans of time, time and time again.
A solid choice for fun learning experiences. Melissa & Doug’s Latches Board builds fine motor skills, concentration & logical thinking abilities. Children identify color names, recognize numbers, count & name animals.
An ideal toy to keep close by on long road trips or airplane flights.

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

It was in the list for 1 year old boys; my grandson is 16 months and some of the locks are beyond his ability, BUT...he loves playing with it; looking behind the doors, counting the animals, closing the doors, etc.

our two year old grandchild loves this toy. She goes for it as soon as she arrives at our home. It is sturdy and colorful. I like that it has number and color recognition as well as the latches to play with. Hope more grandkids arrive soon so they can enjoy it too. It looks like it will outlast them all!

The one latch next to the sliding one (no. 6) gets stuck on the sliding one and doesn't open easily. Would like it better if the latches were arranged so one did not intefere with the other. That is the only thing I'd fix. The rest is fine. He just turned three and so far plays with it a lot. That's why I gave it a 4 star rating.
