Buyer Evaluations

My two year old loves this! My kiddo is dexterous like you would not believe, and has a passion for opening and closing doors as nicely as removing covers and lids (electrical socket safety plugs, the backs of remotes, alter purses, bottle tops, child wipes) and opening clasps (wallet, watches, bracelets). If your kid is the kind who's often searching for new and exciting methods to raise your blood pressure with feats of exquisite motor manage, this latchboard is a good way to redirect that power and curiousity.
I bear in mind reading some horrified parent exclaim that possibly teaching young kids to open latches and locks is a dangerous concept, but realistically speaking - the latches featured right here possibly are not put to use in a safety capacity anyway. (Unless you hide your dynamite behind a miniature chain locked door. And you might want to rethink that.)
The thing is also practically indestructable. I can say this with confidence considering it was "tested" by the brats subsequent door, and those boys could destroy a padded cell. The colors and photographs are vibrant and appealing, also it really is remarkably nicely produced.
My only beef is the cost of Melissa and Doug goods, but due to the fact it's hand produced I can understand why it really is necessary. Maintain up the fine function, guys.

This toy is surely a winner. Our 21 month old son loves it and will play for it sometimes. He particularly loves the door with the 6 goldfish.
My only complaint is that I really feel that the 1st 2 doors had been Pretty challenging to open. I had to have my dad "perform surgery" on them and loosen them up. I'm not even certain how he did it but they are nice and simple and easy to move now. I can not imagine even a 4 or five year old being in a position to move those two the way they had been. Maybe I just got a really difficult one particular? The other 4 doors were excellent from Day 1 although.
You can do a lot of mini games with this toy - like have your child count the animals for you, tell you the colors of the homes, and so on.
A further hit from Melissa Doug!
