SMART BUYS FOR THE SAVVY PARENT

Portrait of Tammy Strobel

Busy Bodies

It looks like something from a DIY store, but this busy board is actually a sensory toy created by a Singapore mother.

Slot the balls into the chute, switch the light switch on and off, tie and untie the shoelace – babies and toddlers will love the repetitive actions that hone their fi ne motor skills, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that it’s safe for them to play with. This version can be personalised with your child’s name, too.

Personalised single board, $215.99, from www.busyboardies.com
