busy board
Sensory manipulation panel
A busy board is a panel mounted with various objects for young children to manipulate—latches, switches, zippers, locks, spinning dials, buttons.
The board keeps toddlers occupied while developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Parents often make them from household hardware attached to a piece of plywood: She spent the afternoon building a busy board for the nursery.
