The Rather Marvellous Wooden Busy Board Your Little One Actually Wants to Play With
Right, let's be honest. Most busy boards look like they've been assembled by someone who's never actually met a child. This one, shaped rather fetchingly like a bear, is different. It's got locks, gears, sliders, laces and switches on both sides, all designed to keep tiny hands wonderfully occupied while developing the motor skills they'll need to, well, eventually tie their own shoelaces.
Why Choose Our Bear Busy Board
Double Sided Exploration: Two sides mean twice the learning opportunities and, let's face it, twice the peace and quiet for you. Each side offers something gloriously different, encouraging your child to concentrate and play independently.
Proper Fine Motor Development: Locks, latches, gears, sliders, maze tracks, a lacing shoe and switches aren't just splendid fun. They're brilliantly designed to build coordination, concentration and those practical life skills that make parenting slightly less chaotic.
Beautifully Crafted and Safe: Solid wood with securely fixed metal components, smoothly sanded and safety tested to EN71 standards. We've done the worrying so you don't have to.
Built to Last: Not some flimsy affair that falls apart after a week. This is the sort of thing that gets passed down, or at the very least, survives your house intact.

This is quite the showstopper for developing minds. The sort of toy that actually earns its shelf space.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
