When the Montessori busy boards arrived, the students' eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement.

For many of my students, especially those who need extra sensory input, these boards have created a safe and playful way to practice essential skills. Each turn of a knob or flip of a switch is building their finger strength, coordination, and focus while making learning feel like fun.\r\n\r\nSince introducing these boards into our classroom centers, we have already noticed children spending longer periods of time concentrating, problem-solving, and proudly showing their progress to classmates. The next step is to integrate the boards into small-group activities where students can take turns and support one another, building both fine motor skills and social interaction.
