@Camara.Crew Stamp of Approval:
If you are looking for the perfect busy activity for your kiddo that you can easily take on the go anywhere! Look no further. Justine's busy boards are amazing! Lily is almost 2.5 years old and they can easily occupy her for at least 30 minutes at a time. I love that not only is there fidget activities on the front but Justine added a chalkboard to the back of the board for double the fun! We have the small busy board and it is the perfect size for Lily to carry around the house or on the go. Lily loves using it in the car and while momma's busy breastfeeding Mason. Usually when I am feeding Mason Lily pulls out the board and we talk about what colours she is going to use on the chalk board or what letters are on the front of the board. Trust me when I say you won't regret purchasing one! I am sure Lily is going to continue getting lots of use out of it, and then she will pass it down to Mason.
