    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.

    Kickstart your HTS Home Learning Adventure!
