Brick toys are perfect for little hands to develop fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence, and the Brick Mates Lock & Learn is no exception. Lots of puzzles for little ones will inevitably end up with lost pieces that are either never found or found in the middle of the night by your bare foot. This avoids all that so score one for Fun City (a big one!) With this educational toy children are in control of the learning experience. They learn what piece goes where, and then they get the satisfying reward of seeing the parts fall off the board by pressing on the side tabs when they are done. The pieces are durable with beautiful bright colors. The illustrations on the background image are cute and imaginative. The design of the tray is ingenious because once you remove the background, it becomes a tray to build on which is compatible with Lego DUPLO, Mega blocks and the like. There are several puzzles in the Lock & Learn line, and as you collect them, you can stack and store them easily, even on their side, because the pieces stay in place. One thing we’ve learned over the years, if you add easy clean up to a child’s toy, you can rest assured that you will win the hearts of parents.
