What is a Busy Board?

Barnshenn Busy Board

A busyboard is an interactive toy that is for the baby and the toddler. Made of wood, it has different activities for the little hands to stay engaged. Some activities include buttons that need to be pressed, zippers to be pulled, locks to be latched, and even different textures to touch. It is the best for kids as it enhances imaginative play and skill development at play.

Colorful and interactive, busy boards are great options for toddlers who want to explore the environment around them. That is why they can be used both in homes and on trips so kids will be occupied during trips. Whether your child plays alone or plays with friends, a busy board offers endless fun and learning.

 


Tips for Choosing the Right Busy Board


Things to look for when selecting the right busy board for little one:

Safe Material: Busy boards need to be solid because babies will pull, yank, and twist each part. Barnshenn boards are made from solid wood, a material that lasts and the one that is baby-safe.

Pick the Age-Appropriate Activity: The busy board contains many activities that are all-age friendly. For young babies most simple things like button-pressing or even wheel-spins. For toddlers there are zippers and locks, Baby Busy Board and Wooden Activity Set offer a wide variety of activities for each stage so that children remain interested in their activity as they grow.

Safety First: Since kids love to explore by touching (and sometimes using their mouth) things, a busy board needs to be safe. Every piece of Barnshenn's boards has been carefully inspected for no sharp edges or loose parts that could hurt them.

The best busy boards have lots of different activities to keep your little ones occupied and learning. Barnshenn boards offer plenty of fun activities, such as turning gears and unlocking latches, so children are always finding something new to play with.



Benefits of Busy Boards

Busy boards offer many benefits for babies and toddlers. Here are just a few reasons why they are a fantastic addition to your child's playtime:

Develops Fine Motor Skills: Busy boards are encouraged by little movements including twisting knobs or flipping of switches. This will help them develop strong fingers and hands. It also helps them in developing skills that will benefit the children in the long term.

Sensory development: Busy boards contain different textures, shapes, and even sounds. This will help the child learn such variations in texture and sound that can be applied while understanding the world.

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. This 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. As busy boards promote group playing, they help the children get socialized.

Screen-Free Fun: In the increasingly digitally oriented world today, finding those types of toys that motivate people to be more inclined toward screen-free play is more important than ever. Keeping your child busy without exposing them to screens with something as simple as a busy board will encourage the same child to become interested in their surroundings
