Little Locksmith
Little Locksmith is a wooden educational toy for young children. The toy combines five sets of keys and locks, each with a different theme: animals, fruits, weather, marine life and vehicles. Each lock cylinder accepts only one key, so children practise shape and colour recognition. Every lock body has two windows. The top window shows objects linked to the theme, and the bottom window shows a matching scene that changes when a wheel is turned. Five picture books support storytelling, and the locks can be hung on a wall for storage.
