DIY Busy Board

 

I am always a “How much?! Nah, I will just make it," momma. Here is my latest DIY, a busy board. It is perfect for my youngest to grow into, but also great for my toddlers in the car. I made mine for just under $15. I love that you can make them simple or really elaborate.

Reasons I love busy boards:

They can help with sensory skills, fine motor, and imaginative play.

They keep your little one’s mind busy and engaged.

They are customized toys.

 

Here is what I used:

Wood Board

Lock Latch

Door Stoppers

Tap Light Switch

Xylophone (Repurposed an older toy)

Pull Handle

Zipper

Paint

Screws (Make sure the length is appropriate for the board)

Screwdriver

Paintbrushes

Command Strip

 

How To:

Set the board up and arrange the items to see how you would like them.

Paint or prep any of the items

Drill holes for the hardware

Secure everything down, double check this step

Play!
