What Should You Pay Attention To?

Deciding to buy a sensory busy board for your toddler is just the first step. Now you have to choose one! And that is not easy. There are many different busy boards. Some with multiple elements, others with only a few. Some rectangular and very minimalist, others multi-shaped and with different elements. How do you know which one is best for your little one?

It is easier if you realize that the busy board must meet the needs of your child. Look at the number of elements. A busy board can have many or just a few elements. It is best to choose a board with ten to twenty elements. Such a number guarantees entertainment without boredom and will not overwhelm your child, which could happen with too many elements on the board.

Of course, the elements on the board must 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 difficulty. In this way, the board grows with your child and will capture his attention for several years.

Safety is also important. Find out what materials the manufacturer uses and whether the paint is certified child-safe. It is advisable to round off the corners of the board and smooth the edges well.

The appearance of the board is also important. The busy board will become part of your child's room. Therefore, it should visually match the interior. But at the same time, it should also look attractive to your little one, for example with an interesting shape.
