Montessori Felt Busy Board
Keep little hands busy without another screen with the Montessori Felt Busy Board — a soft, portable activity book packed with more than 15 hands-on activities for children ages 3 and over.
Inside are everyday skills children can actually use, including laces to tie, buckles to clip, buttons to fasten, zips to pull, gears to turn, felt shapes to move and a learning clock with days, months and dates.
When playtime is over, everything folds back inside and the board zips closed into a compact carry bag with soft handles, making it ideal for car trips, cafés, waiting rooms, holidays and quiet time at home.
Fine Motor Skills
Children can practise tying laces, fastening buttons, opening zips, clipping buckles and moving smaller pieces with their hands.
Everyday Independence
The activities mirror common fastenings found on shoes, jackets, backpacks and clothing, giving children a fun way to practise skills they can use every day.
Time & Calendar Learning
A movable clock lets children position the hour and minute hands, while the same page introduces the days of the week, months of the year and dates from 1 to 31.
Alphabet Learning
The front panel features all 26 letters of the alphabet alongside colourful animal illustrations.
Puzzle Play
A 6-piece picture puzzle is stored inside the zip pocket for an extra hands-on activity.
Quiet, Screen-Free Play
No batteries, apps, Wi-Fi or electronic sounds are required, making it easy to use almost anywhere.
