A hands-on board for curious little hands

Turn a quiet moment into an opportunity to explore with this Wooden Busy Board. It brings together 12 activity elements—including gears, an abacus, a clock, an hourglass, and tactile features—for children to touch, turn, move, and investigate.

Designed for toddlers and young children, the board offers different activities to return to during indoor play. Children can explore one feature at a time, repeat movements, and discover how the pieces work, at their own pace.

12 activities to touch, turn, and explore

• Hourglass: Watch as the contents move from one end to the other.
