Perfect for hands on learning

My kindergarteners loved these cvc lock and key manipulatives. They did them at a center. They wrote the ones they opened by spelling them by theirselves. My higher kids wrote sentences with the ones they unlocked. They were a hit. I have the Alphabet and number lock and key activities too. I love these are perfect for kindergarten!

Unlock your learning potential

Great way to help youngsters learn CVC words. They can tap out the words to unlock a lock. I love how there are the pictures on the locks. Great way to increase vocabulary for second language learners.

Great fine motor, language, and spelling toy

We love the Lakeshore Learning Locks! We have owned the letter and number locks as well. My daughter has gotten so much out of these because of all the different skills needed to play with them.
