Cognitive Development: Busy boards promote cognitive development in that the child will try to understand how to manipulate different features. They learn cause and effect as they see the result of their actions.

Fosters Independent Play: Busy boards encourage independent play since children can play on a busy board independently. Such activity develops their confidence and makes them independent since they can discover things independently.

Develop Creativity During Play: The busy boards offer the kids great creativity. Even when playing, they can develop a scenario or situation, helping them enhance their creativity as well as their storytelling ability.

Developing Social Skills: The children share with other children and take turns among themselves during their time of play. Busy boards encourage group play, which aids in the children's socialisation.
