Teaching Totes℠ are rental play-based learning activity boxes that give caregivers access to a fresh rotation of toys and learning materials every two weeks for the littles in their life! 

​

Children often tire of their own toys and books very quickly. Their parents and caregivers are then stuck with a house full of things that are just collecting dust. With a Teaching Tote℠, you get new materials every two weeks! As a bonus benefit, Teaching Totes℠ are filled with great ideas for materials you might like to buy for birthday or holiday gifts. Essentially, you can take toys, games, and books out for a test drive before buying!

​

 Not every stay-at-home parent has a background in education, but every Teaching Tote℠ specialist does! Use Teaching Totes℠ as your resource to enrich your child’s early childhood experience!

​

Each Teaching Tote℠ revolves around a specific theme or subject area. Some examples include:

​

Fairytales

Robotics

Opposites

Space

Colors

Shapes

Farm

Celebrating Diversity

 

Teaching Totes℠ work well as a stand-alone curriculum to be used within the home for parents looking to engage their children in educational play OR as a supplemental tool to enrich the curriculum in childcare programs, homeschool co-ops, Prenda pods, afterschool programs, Scout troops, and more!

​

Each Teaching Tote℠ (and each Teaching Tote specialist) is unique, so not every tote comes with a prescribed constellation of materials. However, examples of what you can expect to find in there are:

​

toys

 games

books

 puzzles

 dress up costumes

Montessori-inspired activities

song cards

science experiments

 sensory materials (like play dough and sensory bins)

crafts (with all the prep work already done for you)

 

​

Every tote comes with easy-to-follow lesson plans that explain how to use each activity or material and give suggestions for how to modify it for various skill levels.
