"Unhook the latches and locks to open the six brass-hinged barn doors, decorated on the interior with pictures of farm animals, and see who is hiding inside! Then, when you have finished playing, close the doors, buckle up the barn, and transport it by its brass handle to wherever you would like! This beautifully crafted sturdy wooden barn is brightly painted both inside and out, and comes with four flocked animals – a cow, pig, goat, and horse – that all fit inside the barn. Kids could also use their other small toy animals, or even toy people and vehicles, with this barn. The Latches Barn is great for fine motor development, color and animal recognition, counting skills, as well as encouraging creative and imaginative play. The wooden latches barn features a painted barn with working latches and locks on doors that open and close. It also includes four 3-inch-tall flocked farm animal figures that fit inside the barn. Children can unlatch and open the six doors to reveal friendly animal pictures, prompting imaginative storytelling and pretend play fun. The Melissa & Doug Latches Barn Toy makes an ideal gift for kids ages 3 years and up. This set plays well with the Melissa & Doug Lock & Latch Board. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play."--from Amazon.com.
