Onshine Shape & Colour Matching Learning Locks – 108 Pieces

Description

Matching, with a satisfying click

Every piece has a partner. Find it, fit it, and the lock turns. That small mechanical reward at the end is what keeps a three-year-old going long after a flat puzzle would have been abandoned.

108 pieces means this is a set two children can work on at once without fighting, which is worth more than it sounds.

What’s in the box

• 108 matching lock and key pieces
• Assorted shapes and colours
• Storage container

What it builds

Classification — grouping by colour, then by shape, then by both at once. That is the exact skill early mathematics is built on. The turning and fitting is precise fine motor work, and the self-checking design means a child knows immediately whether they were right, without an adult telling them.

Ages

From 3 years. Younger children match by colour; older ones start sorting by shape and inventing their own categories.

Safety and materials

Non-toxic materials, smooth edges. Contains small parts — not suitable for children under 3. Follow the age warning on the box.

Looking after it

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Keep the pieces in the container — a complete set is far more fun than a nearly complete one.
