For a few months now Cameron has been really into the various locks on our front door, and likes for me to hold him up to them while he fiddles. Needless to say this gets tiring for me after a few minutes. Over Christmas while we were in DC at my parent’s house I saw they had borrowed a Melissa and Doug Latches Board from a neighbor. Cameron (and I) were so happy with this toy I stole it from my parent’s house and brought it home! (Sorry Mom!) I had no idea such a toy existed! Unlike many of Cameron’s toys, this one seems to have appeal day after day. He is getting good at some of the easier latches and locks, but the harder ones still vex him. So, I hope this one will be popular for awhile. On Amazon I found two versions of the Melissa and Doug Latches board – we have the second one pictured, but I think they both have the same idea.
I think this is the newer version of the Latches Board
The one we have looks like this
