Busy Bunny Toys

Handmade Busy Boards for Small Hands That Mean Business.

Busy Bunny Toys was founded in Latvia by a family — and specifically by the children in it. Dartas and Artūrs are the reason the brand exists, as watching their development inspired their parents to start making toys that genuinely supported it. What began as a family project to build safe, educational toys for their own children has become a trusted name in Montessori-inspired play, with a range of handmade busy boards that ship to families across Europe, the US, and beyond. Every board is made from high-quality plywood, painted with water-based paint carrying UNI EN71-3:2019 certification, and built to take the kind of repeated, enthusiastic use that toddlers apply to anything they genuinely love.

The boards come in a range of sizes — from standard to extra large, wall-mounted and freestanding — and are packed with the elements that make a busy board actually worth having: latches, locks, zippers, gears, beads, doors, keys and more. The variety is the point. Children from around 10 months through to preschool age work through the elements at their own pace, developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, logical thinking and perseverance through play that does not require a screen, a battery, or adult intervention to hold their attention. Personalisation is available, making these a natural choice as a gift.
