Totschool Resources

Here are some of my favourite free Totschool resources. It has been quite a while since I’ve had a tot in the home. My “baby” is 11 years old! Totschool is something I did with all 3 my youngest children and found it incredibly beneficial when I was schooling the older children.

100+ Free Toddler Printables from Totschooling.net

This is a growing collection of free printables for toddlers, designed for ages approximately 18 months – 36 months.

Tot School from 1+1+1=1

Tot School was developed here! The name has spread far and wide across the Internet, but if you’re wondering where the name originally came from, you are in the right place! My oldest son gave the name to this concept when he was just 6 years old…

Tot School isn’t really school at all, it is simply a name given to the idea of learning through play at home during the younger years.

Mommy Made Printables from Totally Tots

Our Mission for Totally Tots is to unite and encourage Christian Moms to train up their children in the way they should go. We desire Totally Tots to be a place where we encourage one another in love, and joyfully share ideas that will strengthen us in training up the next generation of Kingdom warriors. We believe that we can learn from each other’s experiences and provide wisdom gained by them.

We believe that one of the best ways to do this is to encourage each other in faith, by our spoken and written words. It is our hope that as we unite women in Christ, the young will glean wisdom from the old, one will gain strength from another, and together we’ll shed light to the world. Our greatest hope is that through all we share on Totally Tots – that our children will be a reflection of our hearts on fire for His glory.

Totschool resources from Tot School Resources

As a busy mom it can be hard to keep toddlers and preschoolers entertained. I created TotSchool Resources to provide ideas for crafts & activities you can easily do at home whether you’re doing homeschool preschool or just need to keep your little one entertained.

Totschool Activites & Crafts from Shannon’s Totschool

Do you need some inspiration for activities to do with your own tots? You are in the right place!

Totschool: Planning Totschool Trays & Activities For The Week from Year Round Homeschooling with Misty Leask

When Fifi was a baby, I was fortunate enough to go to a little seminar held by Lauryan over at Edukits. The topic of discussion was “Toddler Taming: Stimulating and Teaching Toddlers through Play.” What has stayed with me the most over the last 5.5 years, is the importance of routine and how it benefits both the child and the parent/caregiver.

Teeny Tiny Tot School from Confessions of a Homeschooler

I used a lot of the resources from Confessions of a Homeschooler for my little one when they started joining our school sessions.

There are so many free resources online, I’ve collated a few themes to help you out. You can find those freebies HERE!

With all the sickies going around in our home, it has taken Koko 3 weeks to complete the letter G.

We make a divider each week for his file with the letter we are busy learning. This time we did “G for Grapes.”

Koko “writing” his name ♥

We use mini pompoms for our magnet sheet, its one of his favourite activities.

Colour by numbers, he is getting better at this. Now he just has to learn to colour in the lines.

Letter H Sort from Creative Learning fun. She has the coolest freebies on her blog. Go check them out.

He loves the gluing activities. I still cut the goodies out for him he does all the gluing himself and almost uses an entire tube of glue, LOL.

He was meant to cut on the lines, but his co-ordination isn’t quite there yet

He cut the page up in pieces instead, LOL

This week we worked on “F for Fish” from the Letter of the Week Curriculum. This curriculum is a huge hit here! I’m keeping all the laminated goodies for Fifi when she’s old enough.

These activities come from Creative Learning Fun. She has the cutest freebies and also has kits available at her Etsy Store

This week we worked on the Letter Dd for Dinosaur, Koko’s favourite animal at the moment.

Painting his D for the collage.

The Dinosaur floor numbers, his counting is coming along nicely, he still doesn’t recognise the numbers, but that will come with time.

The D magnet page, we don’t have little magnets, so he uses Noo’s counters.

The D do-a-dot page, he did two of these this week, he just loves them.

The 6 piece Dinosaur puzzle

Dinosaur sequencing, biggest to smallest. He finally understand this concept *woot*.

Koko decided he wanted to make his own pizza on Pizza night. Here are a few pics of him making his little pizza (Noo was with his dad this particular weekend).

Here he is rolling out the dough, I couldn’t find my rolling pin, so we used a 2l Coke bottle.
