Bodyboards for children from 1 to 3 years old

Bodyboards for children from 1 to 3 years old can be very diverse. This is why it is so important to study the types of development boards. Since it is not always advisable to buy them, it is worth figuring out how to make a business board for a child 1-3 years old with your own hands.

Many parents tend to use a business board for a 2-year-old child. In addition, business boards are very often bought for children from 1 to 3 years old inclusive. Such simulators have become part of the practice of kindergartens. However, they have both positive and negative sides. Their main properties:

• activation of work with fingers;

• accelerated development of speech;

• development of fine motor skills;

• attention training;

• the ability to practice logical thinking;

• encouraging children's fantasy;

• the possibility of joint classes with adults;

• suitability only for children who have already stopped pulling everything into their mouths;

• impossibility of dividing tasks by complexity;

• the nature of activity on a business board, too divorced from practice;

• the likelihood that children will simply play and not develop.

Either way, buying a high quality development board can be beneficial. You just need to understand what types of such products exist, and how to select them. The traditional rectangular board offers excellent security. Even the most inquisitive children find it difficult to break something off and put it in their mouths. Such a product significantly saves space, however, with a size of more than 40 cm, it will have to be rigidly fixed.

Double, it is double-sided, the business board is comfortable provided that the boards adhere to each other. These models are easy to move to the right place, and they are always turned towards the child at the optimal angle.Cubic versions are also mobile and stable. Their functionality is more than that of the two previous types. However, it is not very convenient for babies to use the lower structural elements.

The only problem is that filling these structures can be very limited, despite the original look. Soft models are no longer planks in the strict sense of the word. Despite this, they are quite popular.

Like any toy for young children, a business board must ensure their safety. Therefore, no small details, sharp edges should be categorically in it. Other important nuances:

• reviews about manufacturers and a specific model;

• aesthetic and harmonious appearance;

• functionality;

• made from proven non-toxic materials;

• compliance of the concept and its implementation with the age characteristics and specific needs of a particular child.

The expression has long been known that if you want to do something well, you have to do it yourself. When making a business board at home, you can be sure of its quality and safety. They are based on 12 mm plywood or 18 mm furniture board. Fasteners and other products, including filling the development board, must be prepared in advance and folded nearby, within walking distance. You will definitely need sandpaper, an electric jigsaw, varnishes, paints and paint brushes.

The sequence of steps is something like this:

1. layout (aka fitting) of all prepared elements on the layout;

2. cutting (at this stage, with a jigsaw, they cut off all unnecessary parts and form everything that is needed according to the scheme);

3. grinding the structure (predictably, it starts with the skin, which has the largest grain);

4. application of paint in 2 layers, taking into account the manufacturer's instructions on the time and conditions of drying;

5. thorough grinding of the surface with emery with a finer grain than before;

6. assembly of a business board;

7. quality control of all its fasteners and couplings;

8. decorating the assembled structure, decorating it with images at your discretion.

Many people like the posting of family photos on the business board. They usually look colorful and impressive. However, they will have to be properly secured and protected. Stickers are not bad either, but you have to come to terms with the fact that they will be ripped off all the time.
