What is Happy Tot Shelf?

In a nutshell, Happy Tot Shelf is our themed learning shelf that I create for my children each month.

We are all about interest-led, theme based DIY home learning here.

Each theme is chosen based on my children’s current interests. I believe the best way to learn anything and everything is through our interests.

What is my goal for Happy Tot Shelf?

To help fellow parents create a HTS home learning lifestyle – one where children are free to explore their interests, stay curious about the world and always find joy in learning.

Here’s the most important thing to remember: EVERY child loves to learn.

But how do we keep this love of learning in our children?

Everyday, I’m discovering answers to this question and sharing them with like-minded parents here on Happy Tot Shelf.

Our DIY Approach

Most of the learning activities on our shelves are home made with everyday items/trash! Meaningful hands-on activities don’t have to cost a bomb.
