Description
Here’s the key to building alphabet skills! Our learning locks help kids recognize uppercase and lowercase letters and explore letter sounds. Kids simply choose a key and match it to the letter or to the picture on the lock—when they make a successful match, the key will turn and the lock will open for instant reinforcement! You get 26 locks and 26 keys; locks measure 3 1/4" tall.

Customers Say

Customers love these durable Alphabet Learning Locks for helping children match uppercase to lowercase letters while developing fine motor skills. Kids, especially those ages 3-5 years old, are fascinated with unlocking the locks while learning letter sounds, making letter learning feel like play, though some three-year-olds may struggle with key insertion and keys can get lost easily.

Perfect for little hands

These alphabet learning locks are perfect for little hands to help build hand and eye coordination. I use these in my preschool classroom and they are always a popular item to work/play with. The bright colors and strong locks hold up to wear and tear. Definitely a must in your classroom!

Played with multiple times a week!

My boys love these! I love how sturdy they are. Very well made and can handle rough play. We have the numbers too and they are weekly staples in the playroom.

LOVE THIS RESOURCE

I absolutely love these letter lock resources! They’re such a fun and engaging way to reinforce letter sounds, and my students can’t get enough of them. The hands-on practice really helps the learning stick, and it feels more like play than work. Such a creative and effective tool for building early literacy skills!

Alphabet Matching

My students really like this activity. It helps them learn to match the capital and lower case letters and think about the sounds.

These are Fantastic!

My five year old grandson played with these locks for three hours straight. He locked doors and cabinets and any thing a lock could fit onto. It was a challenge for him to find the correct key to unlock each lock. Highly recommend this toy for open-ended play as well as learning letter recognition.

Great for Teaching

These locks are heavy and can take a lot of space. However they are such a fun and unique toy to not only learn about the alphabet but practice motor skills too!

So durable.

I almost bought an off brand of these locks, but then read a review on here of someone saying they were tough. Boy are they! My 3 sons have used them regularly, both for learning and for not so much learning to lock things up or make chain locks. So far they still look pristine. No signs of wear, no breaking.
