Provide several different locks and matching keys. Have the children find the key that will open the lock. Show them how to fit the key into the lock and turn it until it clicks. You can color-code the pairs to make the task easier. Stick colored masking tape on the lock and tie a matching- colored piece of yarn to the key.
