Perfect for hands on learning

February 08, 2025 - By Laura Elliottfrom Blue Mountain, MS

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!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Unlock your learning potential

December 20, 2024 - By Jlo from Levittown, Ny

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Well-Made Independent or Joint Activity

January 26, 2024 - By Hillary Kfrom Massachusetts

I bought this set after trying the displayed set at the Lakeshore Learning store and buying the numbered set for my nephews. The locks and keys felt durable to withstand lots of use! I chose this specifically for my younger students, but have found that even my older students (grades 3 and older) who struggle with reading really enjoy using these because they feel successful. Can be used as a group activity, individual activity, or even a game to earn after completing work.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
