Busy boards are an amazing, space-saving activity for kids! I’m so glad I decided to make my son one! This keeps him “busy” for up to 30 minutes at a time. All of the items were purchased either on Amazon or locally. I tailored it to what I thought he may be interested in (the door stoppers are his favorite) but you can choose whatever items you believe your child will enjoy and make it as big or small as you want! Pre-made busy boards can be expensive, but I felt this was affordable and something that will grow with him to meet his sensory and motor needs!
Here’s how busy boards build sensory and motor skills:
• Turning, zipping, buckling and twisting builds fine motor skills
• Manipulating different parts supports hand-eye coordination and problem-solving
• Exploring different textures, sounds, lights, and resistances supports sensory integration
As a bonus, busy boards can be used as part of a sensory diet to support self-regulation. Kids can use them to get the tactile, visual, auditory, and proprioceptive input their bodies crave, helping them stay calm, focused, and ready for learning throughout the day.
Comment “no limits” if you would like for me to send you the cost breakdown and where I purchased the items for this busy board!
