Melissa & Doug Wooden Latches Board

Six little doors, six real latches, and a whole lot of "I did it!" moments. Kids flip, slide, hook, and turn each working latch to swing open a door and discover the friendly animal hiding behind it — then match the numbered doors to the numbered animals.

Every clasp is a genuine fine-motor workout, building the same finger strength and dexterity kids use to button, zip, and tie. The sturdy wooden board stands up to endless open-and-shut curiosity and doubles as an early lesson in numbers, colors, and cause-and-effect.

A hands-on classic that busy little fingers return to again and again.
