OPEN! SHUT THEM! Learning about all the different types of locks is important for students. Not only will they need to know how to close different doors/clasps in real life, but this task of learning is helping their minds and little fingers learn to work together. This small motor activity reinforces pinching and grasping which is a very important prewriting skill. Students need to practice grasping to prepare for writing with different tools. Starting young is important as it helps lay a very fundamental foundation for writing in the future. Plus, who doesn't love taking turns to unlock a door only to discover together what is behind it!
