How will a busy board benefit my child?


It all started in January 2017, when my then one year old son wanted to play with everything he "wasn't allowed." The t.v remote, light switch, door knob, calculator, pretty much anything he could get his hands on.

As a mum it felt extremely negative having to say no, I wanted to be able to say yes.

I stumbled across an article of a dad overseas who had created a DIY Busy Board for his young son. A light bulb went off in my head, and the next thing I was rummaging through my mums old dusty box of bits and bobs from the garage creating my own busy board for my son. 

To my amazement, my son absolutely loved his new busy board, it created hours of fun, kept him engaged and most of all he was learning while interacting with it. 

From then it was 9 months spent designing, prototyping, trialling in daycares and gaining feedback to create New Zealand's First Two sided Busy board which have gone into homes and Early Childhood Centre's around New Zealand with great feedback. 

So why and how will a busy board benefit my child?

Busy boards give children the opportunity to explore every day household items in a fun, educational way.
