About Me

Welcome to Cambridge Activity Boxes

Living in our changing world of technology, sometimes we need to step back and revisit some basic functional skills. Our Busy Hands Activity Boxes are perfect for any child, filled with opportunities to support dexterity, fine motor and social skills.  

The Box of Activities for School Readiness

We are teachers who trained together at Cambridge University and have over 40 years' teaching experience between us. In recent years we have noticed more children were starting school confident with touchscreen technology but less confident with their fine motor skills. 

Children were struggling with everyday tasks such as: buttoning their clothes, using a knife and fork, and also more formal skills needed for school, for example: holding a pencil and scissor skills. Not only can this have a negative impact on their learning, but it can also affect children’s self-esteem (SEMH). 

A recent report from The World Health Organisation (WHO) said:

"Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens, or restrained in prams and seats, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by WHO."

Testimonials

 I bought a Busy Hands Activity Box for children in my Year 1 class to support the development of their fine motor skills and encourage social interaction. The children have loved exploring the materials and have engaged really well with the suggested activities. In particular, the finger puppets have been a big hit and have also supported language development as the children use them to retell and create stories. These boxes are an incredibly valuable and engaging resource for the classroom. Thank you!

We used the boxes last year in our school with small groups of children, who needed help with daily tasks like getting changed for PE and mark making. It was great having all the resources to hand and the activity cards made the games more relevant and fun for the children.
