Busy Bala Kids

12/17/2021

Thank you to everyone that joined this community so far and for supporting my small business! I hope that all the kids (and cats) who have been playing on their mats so far are still loving them and that the ones who have to wait just a little longer to open their presents are excited when they unwrap their Busy Bala mat.

I did a little happy dance this week because my goal was to sell out of my first round of mats before Christmas and that happened this week! So thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, fielded my questions,spread the word, and purchased a mat for someone special!

I will be taking some time off around the holidays to relax and regroup and then will be right back at it again with more inventory in the works!

If you wanted a mat, but were not able to purchase one, feel free to add your name to my list via the website (link in bio) and you’ll be notified when more mats are in stock!

Thank you again all! I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2022! Let’s go!!

Beep beep! Heads up! The last day to order for Christmas this year is December 15th! The store will then temporarily close for the holidays until the new year. Now is the time to get those last minute orders in. Happy holidays everyone!

Afternoon break time! Swipe to play a game and get a sense of some of the fun conversation starters a mat can inspire with kids.

Also thanks to everyone in this community and for everyone who has purchased a mat so far!

Inventory is running low and USPS recommends getting holiday orders in by 12/15 for ground shipping, so now is the time to order!

Have fun everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am thankful for this Busy Bala community and for your support, ideas, and love all along the way. My plan was to make all of November a month of gratitude so I could properly thank everyone, and then life got busy, so I thought maybe just the week of Thanksgiving, and now, just today’s post. But to all those who have helped Busy Bala get here so far... THANK YOU!! I wish this community health, happiness, safety, stability, and so much love of family and friends both for today and in the year ahead. Happy Thanksgiving all! Now let’s EAT!! 🥧

kicking up our feet this weekend! Started out our day with a “Gratitude” yoga class with at the Nature Museum 🍁 Lil Busy Bala said he was grateful for Dada 😍
On the blog, there’s a new post too about some off the books that have inspired our play on the mat, including one of our favorites, “Drawbridges Open and Close” by local Chicago author Patrick T. McBriarty 📚

Today on the Busy Bala Blog, I listed a handful of books that have been very popular in our household and have been the backdrop for lots of play on our mat. If you have a little bookworm in your life that likes vehicles, you might find something that you like!

As a parent to a wild and wonderful three year old little boy, these last three years have been truly amazing, challenging, and rewarding in so many ways. ​For this first post, I wanted to share...

Repost from : the boys were so excited to finally get their hands on the playmat!! I loved listening to them play; haven’t heard Cam make siren sounds with cars for awhile! They turned the whole street into a parade! And extra points for how soft it was! Highly recommend, perfect timing for holiday shopping 🙌🏼.
