They want their kids to start learning before school, and so should you. This quiet toy will develop your toddler's fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and attention span. 

These skills will help them hold a pen, pour juice into a glass without spilling, and stay focused in school. They will also build their muscle memory and finger strength.

Kindergarten is tough. It's best if your little one comes well-prepared. It's even better if you can save your back from bending down and tying their laces every 15 minutes. 

The Montessori Busy Board is a toy that will make your child a self-sufficient youngster who doesn't need to be asked twice to do something. All you'll hear from now on is,  "I'm ready!"

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" Sounds familiar? Of course, it does. We all hear it every time a ride takes longer than 15 minutes. Therefore, our little impatient travel companions need something to keep their minds on while we travel, as they would most likely call it, around the world in 80 days.

You can easily store it, as it doesn't take more space than a book, clean it with a brush or vacuum, and your toddler can single-handedly take it to a playdate as it's lightweight. 

Even though this toy targets multiple children's skills and abilities, we wanted to keep the design simple and efficient.

"If you need a toy that will keep your toddler’s attention during a whole trip, you should buy this Montessori Busy Board. Each of them contains snaps, laces, zippers and buttons, all in a compact, wool felt board. It’s also a quiet, portable and lightweight toy that will make your toddler feel grown up and happy." - Jennifer Wallace

You know they like to pretend they are all grown-up, going to work, acting all serious. They see it from us, and they copy us. That's how they learn. 

So why not indulge them? Dress them in a cute little suit, with a tie and everything, hand them a "briefcase," and they are ready for their costume birthday party.
