Product Information

Busy boards can be considered a Montessori-inspired activity as they align with some of the principles of the Montessori method of education. The Montessori approach emphasizes hands-on, self-directed learning and the development of practical life skills, and busy boards provide a safe and stimulating environment for babies and toddlers to explore and learn through their senses. If you choose the right busy board, you can get quite a bit of mileage out of it. Activity cubes and “busy houses” are likely to go further for the price than a wall-mounted busy board.

Sound Cylinders – two sets of tubes, marked either red or blue; children shake one tube and find the matching one The activities contained on these motor skill activity centers provide sensory experiences and help to build important skills. Just paste, glue, or tape any items that you wish onto a board that will hold strong enough. Then place it in front of your child and watch them be amazed at all the new sights and textures. One other benefit to these boards is that they provide a downtime activity for little ones, which can provide relief for parents. They actually make great quiet-time toys.Rotate elements: As your baby becomes familiar with the busy board, rotate or add new elements to keep the board interesting and engaging. Tasting Flavors – dropping a few drops of various flavors onto spoons; children try to match identical flavors Geometric Cabinet – a cabinet with 6 drawers, each containing a knobbed puzzle with different geometric shapes It's important to keep in mind that babies are naturally curious and will explore their environment in their own way and pace. A busy board should be seen as a tool for them to explore and learn and not as an objective to achieve. What are the benefits of using busy board ? Sensory boards for babies and toddlers can be made using your choice of board, adhesive, and objects. There are literally hundreds of options for items that you can use to make a sensory board.

In summary, busy boards can be considered Montessori-inspired as they align with some of the principles of Montessori such as hands-on, self-directed learning and the development of practical life skills, but it's important to look for one that follows Montessori principles in its design and approach. Can a 2 year old play board games?I looked at over 50 different activity boards and, if I can be honest here, I did not like most of them. Most of the boards you will find are simply too “busy” and don't allow toddlers to focus. The sensorial Montessori materials are a huge part of what differentiates Montessori activities from those that are more traditional. While many of these materials typically appear in Montessori schools, it’s still entirely possible to create some sensorial activities right at home. What are Montessori sensorial materials?
