Locks and Latches

Working on fine motor skills is one of the hardest tasks for infants and toddlers. Thus, it is very important to provide small children with as many versatile learning tools as possible. There are so many alternative ways to improve manual dexterity at home, like playdough games, painting, washing berries, picking grains with fingers or gardening. However, it is not quite enough. For example, educational toys with locks and latches have proven to be very effective to improve fine motor skills and prepare hands for handwriting. Moreover, they encourage curiosity and promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity skills.
