For eight years now, I have been sharing my DIY projects and busy boards in my two previous blogs. The boards in particular were such a hit that people just wouldn’t stop coming.

(Read here – What is a busy board?)

The first idea for Easy Busy Boards Builder was born after my 15th or 20th custom order.

In 2020, we’ve made it happen. We were committed to letting everyone make 100% custom busy board for their kids, babies, learners, and whoever. Online & easy.

Why did we do this? Because we believe in busy boards. We believe that all kids and all caregivers deserve this unique bonding experience of shared toy-making. Also, because it’s FUN!

As a parent of a one-of-a-kind Nevus owner myself, I know well that all kids are unique. I love making custom toys basing on the strengths and talents of a particular kid. I love seeing how their eyes light up and they start to invent endless games.

A personal busy board is a once-in-a-lifetime dream toy. But not everyone has all it takes to make one, skills, or resource-wise. So I dreamt of creating an easy way for every caregiver to make ultra-custom busy board.

Part of the Easy Busy Boards’ story is the years of testing, researching, making, and selling boards as a side business. I kept the blog alive, giving back to the busy boards’ community. But I could only dream of making time to find “The Solution”. Always too busy.

And then quarantine happened.

Making this software was a lot of fun. We picked dozens of elements based on our own experience and consultations with the Early Years teachers. Then we took a lot of pictures and worked with our sleepless developers to fit everything perfectly in the online version.

With this Builder, we want to jumpstart a new solution for all parents looking for durable less-plastic multifunctional indoor learning toys for their toddlers. Whatever kind of learners they are.

In the Easy Busy Builder, you have all parts and bases lined up for you. Try out your ideas and create a unique busy board for your kid.

We made it really easy, so you can make it a reality before they grow up.

UPD JUL: We take pride in our gender-neutral designer patterns. They give a whimsical pop to any playroom. Last month we’ve asked our community which you like the most. Thanks for narrowing the shortlist!

UPD AUG: We’re spending lots of time sourcing Sensory Sack parts. These bamboo knuckles are definitely in. Sourced from local women-owned businesses, they make nice clacking sounds and have great texture.

UPD SEP: The final samples for natural & colored designs have been produced. And, we couldn’t be happier with the quality. Some of them even got sold already!

UPD OCT: The most popular patterns were reworked with the help of a professional kids illustrator & final samples produced & tested.

The baby-safe paint worked perfectly on pine. We’re just in love with the matte finish, crisp lines & this tiny logo. 

UPD NOV: Meet our campaign mascot – the Heart. This interactive base is awesome because everyone can go creative and make their own funny faces. Can’t wait to see what you will come up with!

UPD: And here’s our Heart in action! Also, we found a superb multifunctional way to mount it. You know, easel-y. 😉
