[Idiom] to be occupied in doing sth

[MichaelS1]

Good evening everyone,

Is it possible to say: "It seems as if the children are really occupied in doing their tasks?" [orally, as part of a picture description]


Thank you for your help!

Michael

They could be occupied with their tasks, but it's more economical to say they're busy​ with them.
