Busy hands at the table, in the car, on the plane

Your 5 p.m.

From Meltdowns to Screen Battles… Parenting a Toddler Is a Lot.

Long car rides turn into screaming matches. Restaurant dinners feel impossible. The tablet buys you a little peace, and then the guilt kicks in. You just want five minutes to drink your coffee or finish a meal. You're not alone.

  • Real-life fiddles. Zips, buckles, laces and buttons, the kind on their coat and shoes, to try again and again.
  • A felt clock and shapes. Turn the clock hands, match shapes and colours, and move the pieces around the page.
  • Letters, numbers and animals. Felt letters, numbers and animals that stick on and peel off, for naming and sorting games.
  • Packs into its own bag. Closes to 28 × 22.5 cm with carry handles, about 0.45 kg, so it travels in a changing bag or a backpack.
  • Quiet by design. Soft felt and fabric, no batteries and no sounds, so it works in a car, a cafe or on a plane.
The swap, not the ban

Stop Choosing Between a Screaming Toddler and a Screen.

No lecture here. The tablet has its place, and so do you. The tinyyytales Busy Board is simply something else to reach for: zips to pull, buckles to click, a clock to turn. It won't hold her for three hours and it isn't meant to. It might get you through the main course, or the next stretch of road. Hand it over first and keep the tablet for hour six.

Why Parents Hand Over the Board First

A tablet or phone
  • Something to watch, nothing for their hands to do
  • Needs charging, a charger and a signal
  • Bright and loud, hard to put down
  • Still a fine back-up for hour six of a flight

The honest details

Play safely

Soft felt and real fasteners, with a few small pieces worth knowing about.

Supervised play onlyStay close while they play, especially with children under 3.
Small piecesSome felt letters, numbers and shapes are small. Keep them away from children who still put things in their mouth.
Check before playLook over the stitching, buckles and laces before each use and stop using it if anything is loose.
Not for sleepKeep it out of the cot. Laces and straps are for awake, supervised play.

Screen-free, battery-free: Eight felt pages of zips, buckles and laces that keep little hands busy.
How to use them

Open it flat and you're done.

  • Open it flat. Unfold the board on a table, a lap or the floor so every page lies open.
  • Start with one page. Show one zip, then step back. Save the rest for next week.
  • Check the pieces. Count the loose felt pieces before and after play so none go missing.
  • Close and carry. Fold the pages in, close the cover and carry it by the handles.
No more toy graveyard

Tired of the Toy Graveyard? Don't Show It All at Once.

8felt pages, each with its own set of fiddles and pieces

We'll be straight with you: no toy holds a toddler forever, and a board that claimed to would be lying. What works is rotation. Open one or two pages, keep the rest for next week, and bring the whole board out when you're stuck in a queue or a car.

There are real zips, buckles and laces to work, a felt clock to turn, and letters, shapes and animals to stick on and peel off. Eight pages, one carry bag, no flashing lights.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child gets bored?
No toy holds a toddler forever, and we won't pretend otherwise. Open one or two pages and keep the rest for next week; bring the whole board out for the car, the flight or the restaurant booth. If you want to test it, you have 30 days from delivery to email us for a refund.
Will it actually help on trips and at meals?
It's not a tablet and it won't hold her for three hours. What it gives her is a job for her hands: buckles to click, laces to thread, a clock to turn. For some toddlers that's the main course. For others it's the wait for the food. Every toddler is different, which is why there's a 30-day guarantee.
Is this safe for my child?
It's soft felt with real fasteners. Some felt letters, numbers and shapes are small, so please stay close for children under 3 and for anyone who still puts things in their mouth. Check the pieces before and after each play.
How is this different from cheaper busy boards?
Fair question, and we can't speak for other boards. Ours is 8 felt pages (zips, buckles, laces, a clock, letters, shapes, animals) that close into their own carry bag, about 0.45 kg. Look it over on arrival; if it isn't what you hoped, send it back within 30 days.
What if my child already uses screens?
Then it's a swap, not a ban. Hand over the board first and keep the tablet for hour six. No lecture, no rules; just one thing in the bag that isn't a screen.
What age is this suitable for?
Best for roughly 18 months to 3. Younger ones will mostly enjoy the felt textures with you; older ones can take on the laces, the clock and the letters. Too easy or too hard for yours? Send it back within 30 days. Always supervise play under 3.
How big is the board?
Open size: 45 × 28 cm (17.7 × 11 in). Closed, carrying size: 28 × 22.5 cm (11 × 8.9 in). Weight: about 0.45 kg (1 lb), light enough for a toddler to carry.
Shipping & returns
Orders ship in 1–3 business days with tracking, and arrive in about 5–15 days. One board ships for $7.95; two or more ship free. Not the right fit? Email us within 30 days of delivery for a refund.
How do I clean it?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry fully. Please don't machine wash it.
Blue or pink: what's the difference?
Only the felt colours and cover print. The activities are the same.
