tot school and home play activity

打从开始认识home school和蒙特梭利之后，我就每天把头埋在准备给Eva玩/学习的资料。我比较喜欢把东西准备齐全才把东西搬出来，所以东准备一点西准备一点，边准备边把手上两本书关于蒙特梭利的书本读完，边准备边把Pinterest里的资料看了一遍又一遍，就这样准备了将近3个月，也终于等到Eva的桌椅从淘宝寄来之后，我们在Eva 20个月终于开始了我们的tot school！

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. Tot School is nothing more than intentionally providing your tot with age appropriate activities that are fun and engaging.  By choosing specific toys and activities, we expose our tots to a variety of early learning skills.  Mastery is not the goal, FUN is! – from Carisa, blogger of 1+1+1=1
