I color coded the activity since the keys are so similar in size. Once the kids get the hang of it, I plan to remove the stickers and hope that they are able find the correct key by trial and error. I also plan to change the way the activity is presented once it loses its novelty. I introduced this activity to CC, RJ and Enzo as a group because I knew they would all be interested in working on it first. Once they each practiced working on one of the locks and keys, I told them that the activity would be available on the shelf so that they would all have an opportunity to try all three of the locks. You can see CC working with the locks and keys below.
They all enjoyed working on the new activity today. RJ had a difficult time getting one of the locks to close but I think he will improve with practice.Another activity the kids enjoyed today was riding stick ponies after class today. (Thanks grandma=)
Ahhh...thanks for the location on lock buying. I've looked at the hardware store several times and it has been at least $4 per lock. Multi-packs of locks always are multiple locks that use the SAME key. I didn't think to look at the dollar store.
