MY BUSY BOX ACTIVITIES
Every Busy Box activity is thoughtfully designed by our team of educational professionals with children’s enjoyment, skills and emotional development as the focus. Each activity is really do-able, adaptable and fun – whether you’re looking to fill a rainy Saturday morning, a sunny school holiday, hosting an arty party or looking for an ideal gift to spark childrens’ imaginations. My Busy Box activities offer just enough of a challenge to fully engage children, to inspire them and to ensure your child can take pride in their finished craft and enjoy a rewarding sense of achievement. My Busy Box activity instructions are purposefully designed using clear, easy to understand language and colourful images to enable children aged 5 to 11 years old to enjoy their craft making independently. Younger ones may need a little bit of grown-up help now and then – so adults get to join in the fun too! All My Busy Box activities have been tried and tested by a number of very helpful children. Boys and girls of various ages have all given the activities the thumbs up. Trust them; they know best! MY BUSY BOX GAMES
There’s a fantastic creative game idea in every Busy Box. Each game is suitable for children, and grown ups, of all ages, and generally needs only a pencil and some paper. The games are designed to be enjoyed again and again, in small or large groups and to be played almost anywhere. They’re a great way to relax and enjoy quality time together, inspire creative thinking and have a break from all those screens! We’ve even included a FREE pencil in your Busy Box so you can get gaming straight away! TOP TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
You’ll find these on the inside pages of each Instruction Leaflet :
Top Tips – helpful tips for children to get the most from their craft activities, develop their new skills successfully and complete their craft project as they want. Suggestions - Motivating ideas for how to extend each child’s creations to promote creative thinking and inspire further imagination. DEVELOPING YOUR CHILD'S SELF CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE
Providing opportunities for children to be creative is an essential part of children’s development. It’s not just about having lots of fun and experimenting! Nurturing creative activity and allowing children unstructured time for free thinking, spontaneity and imaginative play is important for helping children to grow emotionally, physically and socially. It also helps them to increase their self-confidence and independence. The great news is that kids are naturally creative; in fact, they’re amazing at it! With each Busy Box, your child can have some time out to just ‘do their thing’, to explore their ideas and to develop their brilliant brain. Children learn best by ‘doing’ and enjoying My Busy Box activities encourages them to ‘do’ and to develop their super creative thinking skills and well as having fun!
