Busy Things

My kids age 7 and 4 both love Busy Things, it is a great way for them to learn through play and so far they see it all as games even when the games are maths or literacy based. Whilst they sometimes resist spelling, reading or writing, they never seem to resist Busy Things.

Excellent educational software

We have been using Busy Things for at least 5 years. Our enjoy the site and our teachers find it quite useful. Thank You

My children are 7 and 9, both on the autism spectrum. Busy things is the best educational support app. we have tried, particularly for English literacy, even though we are in Australia and so not using the UK school curriculum. They enjoy the exercises enormously, and one big virtue is that the responses for and incorrect answer are not more interesting than the rewards for the correct answer, which has been a big problem for my son with other programs. Nor are the responses derogatory, which would be too much for my sensitive kids. The phone support staff were also kind, patient and helpful.

Having first tried Busy Things at our public library and the kids absolutely loving it, we then had to go home and buy Busy Things for our own use at home!It's fun, it just feels like playing, but the kids are learning all the time. A win, win situation!We would definitely recommend Busy Things as a great, fun learning resource.

I have had a subscription to Busy Things for four years now. My kids love it. There's plenty to do and learn and the animations are fun and interactive. It's a great educational 'computer game' for them.

Busy things offers age appropriate, interactive learning games. My 3 year old is just starting her learning journey and loves the games, picking and choosing the ones she want herself. I am able to alter the difficulty levels on individual games to ensure she doesn't get bored or frustrated. She even laughs at some when she is playing them. Thank you for making learning fun.

I've used this app as a parent, a teacher and a childminder for children aged between 2 and 10, and absolutely love it!! A fab educational tool, and a great reason to let the little ones on the i-pad!

I can not praise this app enough - I’m a childminder and the children absolutely love playing all the games - they have no idea how much they are learning as they are having so much fun playing them. My own children are 7 and 8 and they love the challenges on there. There is something for everyone and covers all areas of development. I love it!

This website / app meets two key needs for me: my child is learning and she is doing it through play. It is brilliant for all primary aged children, with a host of activities and resources linked to all the different subjects of the National Curriculum. The colours and characters are so appealing to children and because the content is selected for the age of your child, you know that it is all safe. You can also print off resources to continue their learning away from the screen but with the characters they know and love. Great fun anytime of the year but a real help for getting through home-schooling. This website / app will give you the 10 minutes peace you need for that work video call
