For All Those In Between Moments
The moments when you just need them to be busy for a little bit so you can think, talk on the phone, or drink your coffee while it is still warm.
Waiting for dinner at a restaurant...
Rainy afternoons when everyone is stir crazy...
Sitting in a waiting room...
Those last thirty minutes before bedtime...
Quiet time while a sibling naps...
Work calls when you need them occupied...
When one of these moments hits, you grab a BusyBee kit, open the box, and give your child a simple, fun thing to do.

Real Parent Moments with BusyBee 🐝
“I toss our Out and About Kit in my bag and it has saved so many restaurant dinners. My kids now ask, ‘Can we do our BusyBee stuff’ instead of asking for my phone.”
“I keep the Home Helper Kit in a cabinet by the kitchen. When I need to cook, I put the box on the table and each kid picks a card. They know it is ‘BusyBee time’ and I can actually finish a recipe.”
“The Wind Down Kit lives in our living room. We pull it out instead of turning on another show. It gives us a calm twenty minutes before bedtime without a fight.”
Quick answers before you choose a kit.
What ages are BusyBee kits for?
Most BusyBee activities work best for kids ages four to ten. Some toddlers will enjoy them with more hands on help. Older kids often like the “Big Kid Busy Kit” that feels more like creative challenges than toys.
Will my child actually use this more than once?
Most kids come back to their BusyBee kit again and again because it feels like “their special box” for those moments. The activities are simple and open ended, so they can be played with in different ways each time. You can also rotate which cards or pages you offer to keep it feeling new without buying a whole new kit.
Do I have to use it every day?
No. BusyBee kits are made for the moments you need them, not one more thing on your daily list. Some families grab a kit a few times a week. Others keep one in the car or bag and only use it for restaurants, appointments, church, or busy days. You get to decide when it helps you most.
