Do you know a 1- to 2-year-old? Have a bunch of shiny/moving/generally interesting hardware that you saved from the trash but didn't really know what for? Then an activity board is what you need to make!
Also known as "busyboard", it is basically a small wall with everyday things a small child could like to play with (and/or practice how to use them).
