🧩 Montessori Educational Busy Board: Stimulating Fine Motor Skills for 1-3 Year Olds with Sensory Activities & Toys Review

Product arrived on time with no damage. However, they are falsely advertised for children of different ages. This is not true, this article is best suited for a child who can read.

This item works well, children are supervised at all times when playing as opening and closing can be difficult. We had two number 2 keys and no number 6 key. So it's always weird. But other than that, my kindergarten kids love them!

So this is really interesting - they're basically locks and you have to find the right key from the set to open them. It would be a bit difficult for my 2 year old but only for my 5 year old - so I think it's good for someone of that age. The toys seem nice and durable - you know how 'gentle' children can be with toys!

So I saw in the reviews that a lot of people were unhappy with the fact that cars had numbers written in words and not numbers, which I can understand as most kids are that age they use 't. I can't read yet. I took my grill machine and cut out some vinyl numbers and attached them to cars and keys. (See image). My 2 year old still loves it.

My son is almost 3 years old. He begins to match the number to the word and the number of points. He doesn't have the strength/hand coordination to turn the key. I noticed that there is a clicking noise when the locks are opened. When a child has their potty pants halfway down, there might be a better time for this toy. Unfortunately the key ring is a joke. I'm going to replace it with a metal ring that actually stays closed.

I bought these for my sister who is raising her child Montessori. She has many toys, but none of them are like this one. I really like that this is a toy that grows with the child. When he is very young he can play with cars and practice colors. The lock and key mechanism is a bit more advanced so it doesn't get tired easily. Each lock has its own key that corresponds to the number on the lock. They can be carried on a small keychain like mum's keys.

The disadvantage of this item is that the age it can use is wrong, the older child understands number recognition and since any machine takes another key, 2-3 years old, the kid who doesn't know his numbers will get frustrated, like me, and don't want to play with it. And an older child playing with this object will quickly get bored as it is not that difficult. For a 1 to 3 year old to use it they had to open each bus with each key which would make it less difficult. So the toy has flaws. But…
