10 Beautiful Etsy Busy Boards for Inspiration

As a stay-at-home mum, we’re making it work on one income, so DIY is the way to go! I found some really affordable busy board elements on Amazon and AliExpress. But before diving into the project, I browsed Etsy for ideas.

(Prices listed as of March 10, 2025.)

1. Beautiful Wooden Busy Board

💰 Starting at $100

What I love about this busy board:

The zipper (perfect for fine motor skills!)
The spinner (because spinning things are life for toddlers!)
The remote control (my toddler would LOVE this one!)
The shoelaces (great for practicing tying skills)
The lock (who doesn’t love a good lock?)

2. Simple Wooden Busy Board

💰 Starting at €147.20.

Next one is this simple wooden busy board. It has a lot of features the first one didn’t have. What I especially like is the name “puzzle”.

Highlights:

A bicycle bell (such a cute idea!)
A puzzle (I assume it’s a puzzle? Either way, I love it.)
A phone (Maybe I can find an old dial phone for my DIY version!)
A light switch (Not a fan of the electric socket, though—I don’t want to encourage playing with those!)

3. Smaller Busy Board 50x40cm

💰 Starting at €147.20.

Ok, the sparrow and the helicopter are just adorable. Not sure I could DIY that, but it’s a fun idea! I also love the balloon, and I’d like to incorporate something similar.

Ideas I’d like to include:

A wooden box with a latch (maybe with a dinosaur?)
A clock (if I can DIY it!)
Some kind of string element like in the balloon.

4. Giant Busy Board Wall

This one has a lot going on, and I love the variety of ideas. Maybe for a kindergarten this would be interesting. or outdoors on a fence? Of course one would have to make it mold resistant hmm.

Favorite features:

Doors on the right (I wonder what’s behind them?!)
The old fashioned light switch (Maybe I could get one at second hand stores or flea markets)
The phone
The car going over the mountains (My toddler loves cars!)

5. + 6. Super Artsy Custom Busy Boards

💰 Starting at €142 for the small ones.

The ones by SmartWoodenToys are pictures of art. Look at how beautiful they were painted. That is something I really want to implement.

Favorite features:

Doors on the left (I wonder what’s behind them?!)
Artistic designs (The ones by SmartWoodenToys are next-level beautiful.)
The bus with different faces (I imagine they represent emotions—such a fun idea!)
Turning cubes with images
A massage roller (My toddler loves playing with my grandma’s!)
A small bell
A cartwheel
A water pipe knob
The beautiful background images!

7. Pastel Colored Busy Board

This one is by LamaBusyBoard (Prices start at $91.49). It is in beautiful pastel colors. What I love about this one are:

The sliding puzzle. (There are 2)
The bear with a sensory belly.
The maze.

8. A Very Color Intensive Busy Board

This one is by HappyBabyClubUA (Prices start at €83.45 on sale). It is in a very bright blue. Maybe a bit too intensive for me. It has a few features I really like.

The calculator. Since I have a lot of them at home.
The gears.
The xylophone.

9. Pastel Colored Busy Board

💰 Starting at $€173.68 on sale (by BusyPuzzle)

What I love:

A marble drop (So satisfying!)
Puzzle pieces (Not sure how they don’t fall out, though?)

10. Smaller Busy Boards

If you need a busy board for the car the above ones are certainly too big. Which one would you make? One for the wall or one for the car?

From $ 92. Look at this cute bear shape.

💡 I’m so excited to start my DIY busy board! Which features do you love the most? Let me know in the comments! 😊

I asked ChatGpt to create one with all the features that I liked. It had some extra elements that I liked like the wheel, the sensory touch pad, the woolen clouds. I know some folks absolutely hate AI art, so pls don’t look 😉 For me I think it’s good for inspiration and once I’ve completed my busy board I will share it here.

Not really what I expected lol. But maybe not bad for inspo: Here my prompt:

“A beautifully crafted wooden busy board designed for toddlers, incorporating multiple engaging sensory elements. The board features a zipper, a spinner, a small remote control, and shoelaces for fine motor skill development. There is a lock and key mechanism, a light switch, and a bicycle bell for interactive play. Additionally, the board includes a puzzle section, a wooden box with a latch, and a clock with movable hands. A unique bus with different facial expressions helps toddlers learn emotions, while turning cubes display changing images. Other standout features include a massage roller, a small bell, a cartwheel, and a water pipe knob for sensory exploration. The background is decorated with colorful illustrations, adding an artistic and playful touch. The overall color scheme is warm and inviting, with pastel tones and natural wood textures. Can you make it hyper realistic as if I used the newest sony camera ultra-4k.”
