If you know a toddler, you know how hard it can be to keep them busy. Which is completely unfortunate — because in many situations, they’re the exact demographic that needs to be entertained at all times … or else. Every parent can tell you what happens when a toddler has too much free time on their hands. (Spoiler alert: it isn’t pretty.)
Lightweight and the perfect size for transporting wherever you go, this busy board contains a plethora of fun things that help toddlers and preschoolers perfect those critical fine motor skills like buttoning, snapping, Velcro-ing, zipping, and buckling. They can even start learning to tie their shoelaces, which will be a big win once they start school!
With tons of activities and a strap for ease of carrying, this busy board is appealing for a wide variety of ages. “I bought one for my child and have gifted this item to many other children! It is wonderful to keep the little ones entertained screen free on a car trip, plane ride, or just in the kitchen while trying to get dinner ready!” raved one reviewer. Best of all? There are no loud noises, flashing lights, or electronic things involved! So your kid will not only be kept busy, but quiet too. Wooo!
