Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Latches Board
Customer Review: Fun toy, nice skills improvement
Summary: 5 Stars
My son got this toy as a gift for his second birthday. The latches vary in difficulty to maneuver so there were immediately a few he could do but the others provided a challenge for him to grow into. I really like how quickly his hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills improved with this. It also is a counting toy, as behind each little door is a grouping of animals like fish and horses to count. It is a colorful, well-made toy - recommended for any 2-year-old.Customer Review: Great for car trips!

The Melissa and Doug Latches Board entertained my 2 1/2-year-old for over 2 hours on a long car trip recently. He never got tired of opening, closing, latching and unlatching, and discovering and counting the animals behind the doors. As mentioned by other reviewers, the #2 latch is a little stiff for small fingers, but I think we can work on it a bit to loosen things up. I plan on tucking this away for the next car trip when it can be "new" again. Great toy!Customer Review: great gift!

My 2 year old picked this toy out for her sister's first birthday. She is now 18 months old and they both play with this "puzzle" daily. It has GREAT educational value...colors, counting, animals, etc. My oldest sometimes gets frustrated when her sister can't get a door open, but she has learned to be patient, which is also of great value! The toy seems very durable and we have never had a problem with it, other than a smashed finger here and there.Customer Review: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!

I got this when our son was just over a year thinking I'd pack it away until he'd use it. I pulled it out almost right away for an older toddler and our son started playing with it right away! There are latches that are easy, and ones that are hard so now, a year later, he's still playing with it. Other kids 7-8 years old even play with it trying to figure out some of the latches. Great way to teach the different latches all on one toy!!Customer Review: Would only buy this for older or special needs kids.

I love almost all Melissa and Doug puzzles, but I won't let this one into my house. It strikes me as insane to teach your child to circumvent all of the latches we use to protect our adult things and keep children safe.
That being said this puzzle would be great for older children or special needs children who need work on fine motor skills. Still I wouldn't use it until your child understands and respects limits.
