One of my most popular kits with school age children is “the lock kit”.
This activity was created when I noticed children showing signs of anxiety over having a locker for the first time. They needed some help to learn how to use a lock. Something that seems simple to us can be stressful to a child if they have never experienced it before. In this kit I included a variety of key locks and combination locks.
*Make sure your child is ready for the combinations before introducing them. It is important for a child to be challenged, but not so much that they feel frustrated and discouraged. Remember the goal is to build self-esteem. I would suggest starting with just key locks for younger children.
