Baby Busy Board

BySCWD

My nephew Noah had a birthday coming up.

I did some research around the internet and found that most of the busy boards had similar features and items on the board. I wanted to be creative. Instead of just buying things to attach, I thought of several things I can make out of wood.

Of course, being that it was wood, I would need to sand it really good to prevent any splinters for Noah. I worked with all party’s involved to come up with the best solution. Being that Noah’s mother had several busy boards already, I wanted to make this unique to the other busy boards. The project was very fun and tested my creativity. Seeing Noah enjoy, and play with it after the party was very rewarding for me.

Materials Used:

  • 2×4 Stud
  • Hard Board
  • Titebond II Wood Glue
  • White Latex Paint
  • 220 Grit Sand Paper
