Every open and close on the Melissa & Doug latch board is a mini lesson for my 2-year-old. 🗝️✨ Each latch helps them: ✨ Strengthen fine motor skills (building the muscles needed for writing and daily tasks) ✨ Practice counting and colors as we explore what’s behind each door ✨ Understand cause-and-effect — “if I do this, that happens” ✨ Build focus, patience, and problem-solving skills through play I love that @melissaanddougtoys created a toy that feels like play for little ones, but is packed with opportunities for real learning and growth. Watching the focus, determination, and joy that comes with each latch is the best part. 💕 🔗Follow the link in bio to snag one today! #LatchBoard #ToddlerLearning #FineMotorSkills #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #MelissaAndDoug #ToddlerPlayIdeas #LearningThroughPlay #CauseAndEffect #ToddlerActivities
