Hi! We’re Chelsey, Dylan, Amayá, Mike & Aly, the family behind Bored Bugs.

Bored Bugs was lovingly created by Hayley, a fellow Aussie mum who built this business with heart and purpose, designing screen-free, sensory-rich activities for little ones and the parents who need a breather. Her creativity, attention to detail, and love for early learning laid the foundation for everything Bored Bugs is today.

In 2025, our family had the privilege of taking over Bored Bugs. As parents (and grandparents), we instantly connected with what Hayley built and felt so proud to carry her vision forward, while also bringing a fresh, family-wide energy to the brand. With our daughter Amayá as our daily inspiration and chief product tester, and her grandparents Mike and Aly proudly working alongside us, we’ve truly made Bored Bugs a three-generation business.

Each personalised busy book and wooden activity board is still lovingly hand-assembled from our family home in Queensland, just as Hayley did when she began. Every detail is carefully crafted with the goal of encouraging calm, focus, and joyful play, whether you’re on the road, at an appointment, or just trying to drink your coffee while it’s still hot.

We’re so excited to continue growing Bored Bugs, expanding our product range and adding even more thoughtfully designed tools that help busy families create magical, screen-free moments together. What started as one mum’s creative spark has become a family’s mission, and we’re so grateful to have you here for the journey.

Thank you for supporting our small business, it means the world to us.

With love,

Chelsey, Dylan, Mike, Aly & Amayá 🌈🐞
