Variations and Extensions
Variations
- Different sizes of padlocks could be used.
- The locks could be holding something shut.

- A similar activity could be done with a combination lock. The child must already be familiar with numerals and the difference between left and right (clockwise and counterclockwise). The combination could be written on a slip of paper and taped to the tray.
