A busy board-what is it?

Probably every fresh mom wonders how to stimulate their child’s development wisely. She reads heaps of articles, looks through blogs and websites offering toys, and… still knows nothing. All products seem indispensable, each trend attractive, and no mom wants to miss out on anything, especially when her toddler’s wellbeing is at stake,

But you can’t have everything. Even if you are not big on minimalism, you realise there is no chance of having all products the market offers. That’s why the best idea is... a busy board! It combines many functions, develops and feeds the child’s curiosity. Surely our does!

A busy board – what you should pay your attention to?

Deciding to buy a busy board for your toddler is just the first step. Now you have to choose one! And it’s not easy. There are many different busy boards. Some with multiple elements, other with only a few. Some rectangular and very minimalistic, other motely and with multiple elements. How to know which one will be the best for your little one?

It is easier when you realize that the busy board should meet the needs of your child. Loot at the number of elements. A busy board can have many or merely a few. The best way is to choose a board that combines from a dozen to around twenty attachments. Such a number will guarantee entertainment without boredom, and still will not overwhelm for your child, which could happen with too many details.

Obviously, the elements on the board should be diverse. It is good to make sure that they stimulate the senses of sight, touch, and hearing, and at the same time vary in the level of difficulty. Thanks to that the board will grow with the child and attract their attention for a few years.

Safety is also important. Find out what materials the producer uses and if the paint is certified child- safe. It is recommended that the corners of the board are properly rounded and the edges smoothed.

The looks of the board are equally important. Your board will become a part of your child’s room. Therefore, it should match the interior visually. At the same time it should look attractive to your little one, for example have an interesting shape.
