Melissa and Doug - Latches Board

Learn about locks, latches and how to open them - and the doors behind them - to reveal colourful animal friends. The Melissa & Doug Wooden Latches Board helps to encourage hand-eye, fine motor skills and also teaches children numbers, colours, shapes, animals and more!
