It’s also educational so you don’t mind if they spend ages playing with the different pages and it’s so easy to carry around in a little rucksack so you can either hang it on the buggy or your child can put it on their back really great gift for appointments or If you have to wait in queues you can just pull it out and entertain your child.

First of all, it arrived super quick, just in time for our friend's daughter's birthday! She absolutely loved the gift and even took it with her to a restaurant. Her mum said she sat at the table and played with it for 40 minutes! Can't recommend this enough!

What makes My First Busy Board Montessori?
Montessori toys encourage child-led learning and hands-on exploration, fostering various aspects of development.
"My First Busy Board" exemplifies this approach with activities like color matching, shapes sorting, and letter recognition. Its detachable boards and natural materials promote independence and sensory engagement, making it an ideal choice for Montessori-inspired learning environments.
Are Milleli busy boards Suitable For Sensory Sensitive Kids?
Yes, Millieli's "My First Busy Board" can be suitable for sensory-sensitive kids. Its design incorporates gentle sensory stimuli, such as colorful graphics and tactile elements, which can provide a soothing and engaging sensory experience for children who are sensitive to sensory input. Additionally, the activities offered by the busy board are designed to promote fine motor skills and cognitive development in a non-threatening manner, allowing sensory-sensitive children to engage at their own pace and comfort level. However, as every child is unique, it's important to observe individual preferences and comfort levels when introducing any new toy or activity.
How can My First Busy Board help children with speech delay?
My First Busy Board can be a valuable tool for children with speech delays, as it combines sensory activities with opportunities for interaction and language development. Here’s how it can help:
- Encourages Communication: The board is filled with activities that prompt interaction, such as matching shapes, identifying colors, and exploring textures. These activities can provide natural moments for children to express themselves, either verbally or non-verbally, and can encourage communication between the child and caregiver.
- Supports Vocabulary Building: By engaging with different elements—like zippers, buckles, and shapes—children have the chance to learn and reinforce words associated with these items. Caregivers can name objects, colors, and actions (like "zip," "match," "pull") while the child plays, building their receptive vocabulary and, eventually, expressive vocabulary.
- Promotes Interactive Play: The board offers structured yet flexible activities that can be adapted to include language exercises. Caregivers can ask open-ended questions like "What color is this?" or "What happens when we pull this?" which encourages children to practice listening, processing, and responding.
- Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Developing fine motor skills can indirectly support speech and language development, as both fine motor and language skills rely on similar neurological pathways. Activities like buttoning, lacing, and zipping can strengthen these pathways and improve coordination, indirectly aiding language acquisition.
- Fosters Focus and Attention: Engaging in these activities helps children improve their focus and attention span, which are essential skills for listening and processing language.
By integrating play with language-building moments, My First Busy Board supports children with speech delays in a hands-on, engaging way that feels like natural play rather than structured therapy.
