The Classic World Keys and Doors lacing set is a sensory toy where children thread blocks onto a string with a key at the end.

This Montessori lacing set consists of a string with a key, 11 blocks in different shapes and a wooden house. Children thread the blocks and learn to match the key to the door, while pattern cards show the order to follow. Play trains finger dexterity, precision and concentration and helps learn geometric shapes. The blocks are varnished wood painted with non-toxic paints – an eco-friendly, plastic-free toy.

What your child develops

• Fine motor skills. Threading the string through holes.
• Concentration. Following the pattern card.
• Shape recognition. Different geometric shapes.
• Responsibility. Keys and doors – keeping home safe.

How to play

Start with free threading so your toddler learns the movement. Then pick a simple card and thread the blocks to match.

Play "unlock the house" – the key has to find the right door.
