Activity Board - Locks and Hinges

Unlock curiosity and fine motor learning with the Locks and Hinges Activity Board, an engaging hands-on board designed to build dexterity, problem-solving, and real-world understanding of locks, catches, and hinges.

Children will love discovering what’s hidden behind each of the six colourful locking doors, practising how to open and close latches, bolts, and catches as they play. Behind every door is a matching flash card featuring letters A–F, numbers 1–6, and corresponding images, helping children connect literacy and numeracy concepts through tactile exploration.

The writable surface beneath the doors allows for added creativity — educators can write messages, clues, or draw prompts to enhance memory and communication skills.

Crafted from solid European birch, this durable board can be wall-mounted or used with Edu-21’s Tabletop Stand (#35350), Floor Stand (#35351), or Mobile STEM Walls (#35020 & #35021) for versatile classroom and therapy use.
