Busy Board: Keep Them Busy

The title already gives this post away, we’ve built Alim a fun board for slapping on education and tactical everyday gadgets like a door lock or a door spring. Busy boards familiarizes a child with everyday items in a very consolidated manner.

This project is totally in your control, you build it with your preferred material or whatever material you have around. In our case, we didn’t have much scrape material around so we shopped for whatever was needed.

We’ve wanted something to be more portable and easy for Alim to lean against. As we browsed through the hardware store, we came across a saw horse *lightbulb*. The saw horse had the exact tilt we wanted and it was perfect weight to support Alim’s weight to lean against. All we had to do next is slap on a piece of wood to support all the gadgets.

This is how we did it…

Material

  • Craft board, pine board used here
  • Saw horse
  • Circular saw
  • Screws
  • Drill
  • Polyurethane
Saw horse (big shortcut) and craft pine wood

Measuring and Cutting

  • Amani laser focused
  • Cutting drilled in board (bad idea) to saw horse
  • Sides as slightly mismatching, which could be fixed with sanding

Polishing

  • First layer polyurethane
  • Second layer polyurethane
