HOW DID THE EASY BUSY BOARDS™ STORY START?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For eight years now, I have been sharing my DIY projects and busy boards in my two previous blogs. The boards in particular were such a hit that people just wouldn’t stop coming.

(Read here – What is a busy board?)

The first idea for Easy Busy Boards Builder was born after my 15th or 20th custom order.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”16458″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text el_class=”ebqot”]I loved how every parent would inquire for different parts and quirks for their kids. It clearly channeled the need for an ultimate personalizing solution.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This year, we’re making it happen. We’re committed to letting everyone make 100% custom busy board for their kids, babies, learners, and whoever. Online & easy.

Why are we doing this? Because we believe in busy boards. We believe that all kids and all caregivers deserve this unique bonding experience of shared toy-making. Also, because it’s FUN![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”42″ el_id=”allkids”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1598197571037{margin-bottom: 12px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

ALL KIDS ARE CURIOUS, ALL KIDS ARE TALENTED

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”18061″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]As a parent of a one-of-a-kind Nevus owner myself, I know well that all kids are unique. I love making custom toys basing on the strengths and talents of a particular kid.

EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE ONE

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A personal busy board is a once-in-a-lifetime dream toy. But not everyone has all it takes to make one, skills, or resource-wise. So I dreamt of creating an easy way for every caregiver to make ultra-custom busy board.

Part of the Easy Busy Boards’ story is the years of testing, researching, making, and selling boards as a side business. I kept the blog alive, giving back to the busy boards’ community. But I could only dream of making time to find “The Solution”. Always too busy.

And then quarantine happened.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”36″][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1604902099453-06007b9a-fc4e-5″ include=”18058,18057,18056,18055,18054,18059″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1598198943131{background-color: #edeff1 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”84″ el_id=”ourspin”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1598703065326{margin-bottom: 36px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
