Hi! Thanks for stopping by to browse our shop! I’m Caroline, Mama to Grace, and together we are EVERYDAY a little Grace. We started Tot Schooling when Grace was 14 months old, and shortly after I created a blog detailing our Tot School adventures. That blog has now turned into a wonderful new venture in the form of this Etsy Shop.

We believe in play based learning, and as I was searching for a creative outlet I could manage along with a busy toddler, I started to design some play based Tot School plans, and early learning activities with Grace in mind. I wanted a cohesive collection of preschool basics (letters, numbers, shapes, and colors) for Grace to use and resources that could be used in a variety of different ways and grow right along with her.

So far, Grace is obsessed! Every item that is listed in my shop, Grace has used and still uses on a daily basis. And she has already picked up on some concepts I was unaware she was ready to learn.

Organization was also on my mind while designing the resources available in my shop, as well as needing minimal supplies to use them. Full page files can be easily organized in an accordion file. The large card sets can be hole punched and kept together with a binder (book) ring and stored together in a bin or basket, and they make the perfect take along activity as well. The minimal supplies I personally keep on hand for these early learning resources include a fly swatter (turning most card sets into a gross motor activity), clothespins (for exercising those fine motor skills), play dough, a dry erase marker and wool balls. But of course other manipulatives can be used such as buttons, erasers, items from nature, etc.

Life with littles can be hectic at times, and while I enjoy planning different themed units for Grace to enjoy when able, I love having simple grab and go educational activities that can supplement current themes, or simply stand on their own. And most importantly Grace enjoys them too.

Our wish at EVERYDAY a little Grace is that the items in our shop will help you spend more time with your little one(s) and take the stress out of finding and planning some of those early learning activities, giving you more time to spend together learning and having fun.
