What our parents say...

 

"Busy Things has transformed the way I educate my daughter at home. She is a visual learner and Busy Things captures her imagination in a way, no other educational site has... my daughter doesn’t even realise that she is learning. I would highly recommend families to trial it, they won’t regret it!"

 

Mandie Lal, parent

 

"I think Busy Things is great value and a fantastic addition to my daughters learning.  She loves the games and regularly asks to play them... For me, I enjoy knowing she is learning specific things whilst playing."

 

Craig Simpson, parent

"I purchased Busy Things to improve the numeracy and literacy skills of my three children....   [Busy Things] supports their learning at home very well including supplementing their homework."

 

Zainab Bashir, parent
