Wooden Lock & Key Puzzle

- Lay out all the locks and keys on a flat surface.
- Encourage your child to pick a key and try different locks until they find the correct match.
- Once matched, they can turn the key to "unlock" it — giving a sense of achievement.
- Mix up the locks again for repeated play to reinforce problem-solving through trial and error.
- Use the activity to introduce basic concepts like shapes, matching, and directional movement.
- Ask guiding questions like, “What makes this key fit?” to encourage critical thinking and observation.,11
