Collection: Montessori Busy Board

Our Montessori activity boards are a world of discovery and learning!

The Montessori activity board, also known as a busy board or Montessori activity board, has become an essential part of early childhood education.

This educational toy, usually made of wood, promotes sensory development and fine motor skills while offering your little one a fun and discovery-filled experience!

What is a Montessori activity board?

A Montessori activity board is an educational toy designed to encourage sensory awareness and develop your child's motor skills.

These boards are largely inspired by Montessori pedagogy and feature various manual activities such as locks, wheels, buttons, and other devices that allow children to interact with their environment in a fun and playful way.

These small elements are designed to capture children's attention while helping them develop skills that will be very important throughout their lives, such as hand-eye coordination, concentration, and even dexterity.

By manipulating the different parts of the board, children will learn to solve problems, perform sequential tasks, and strengthen their cognitive abilities.

Why choose a Montessori activity board?

• Sensory development: Your child will love discovering new textures!
• Fine motor skills: Repetitive and precise actions, such as turning a key or sliding a button, improve fine motor skills.
• Independent learning: They encourage children to explore on their own, promoting a form of self-directed and active learning.

How do Montessori activity boards benefit children's development?

Awareness and learning

A Montessori activity board engages the motor and intellectual skills of the child using it.

Each element on this busy board presents a challenge that requires thought and perseverance, thereby indirectly strengthening language and math skills.

For example, when your child moves an object along a track or sorts shapes, they will begin to understand basic concepts such as numbers and letters!

Cognitive skills

In addition to all this, your child will develop their cognitive skills with their board or Montessori mobile by manipulating various objects and devices on their board.

They will learn to solve simple problems, think critically, and make decisions at the right time. Your child will be able to try and fail, which will give them a better understanding of the principle of cause and effect, which is essential for acquiring more complex skills later in life.
