How to build a baby busy board

Keep your baby entertained for a few minutes so you can drink your coffee while it is hot! :)
I’ve used door bolts, a door stop, a brushed faceplate, a hasp and staple, little blind spot mirrors, cabin hooks, a door chain, a bicycle bell, nylon rope, zipper, bolts with washer, a caster wheel and a few more bits.

You can really use anything you think your baby might be intrigued by. Just make sure it is safe to touch and remember always supervise your baby when he/she plays with the busy board.

Like I said in the video I’m not to sure about the light yet, might try to find one a bit less bright.

This busy board hangs from a door to keep the room free for baby to play in, I recon you have enough toys cluttering the space as it is, without a big busy board in the middle. I used hooks to hang my board as I need something that comes off easily as my studio is being used to shoot my DIY video’s in and I need clean walls and doors. I would suggest screwing yours to the door itself so it is attached securely. Just make sure somebody knocks before opening the door :)

If you stick it to the door, is that safe? And when you open and close the door, is that still safe?🤔

[YuriyKhovansky]

I did it myself. I used Woodglut woodworking plans for this.

I enjoyed this video a lot, because I'm trying to design a busy board...
With your experience the steel pieces or sharp edges can not hurt the baby hands or head if he's playing alone or 2 siblings are playing beside it?
Note: 0 years of experience as a father Lol

I feel like some of these wouldn't be safe for babies as they have a
Parts where a baby can trap their fingers.
