Onshine Number Learning Locks – 20 Pieces

Description

Numbers you can feel

A numeral on a page is an abstraction. A numeral on a lock that only opens with the matching quantity is something a three-year-old can actually grasp. That is the whole idea here.

What’s in the box

• 20 number lock and key pairs
• Numerals with matching quantity representations
• Storage container

What it builds

One-to-one correspondence — understanding that the symbol 5 means five actual things. It sounds obvious to an adult and it is a genuine leap for a small child. Also number recognition, counting, and the fine motor control of lining up and turning a key.

Ages

From 3 years, and particularly useful in the year before school starts.

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. Store the pairs together.
