The parents’ guide to crafting a home that encourages independent play.
This guide is perfect for parents with children of any age and any space in their home. It goes in-depth on how to create, organize, and manage a playroom, without spending any money or having an elaborate playroom. I share three strategies for supporting your child in independent play, so they’re more likely to play by themselves, learning on their own and letting you do what you need to do!
After being an elementary school teacher, I knew it was important for my own children to learn independence. Being able to find what they needed, when they needed it, was a priority for me, in the classroom, and now, at home.
Children thrive with order and routine. By creating a systematic playroom routine, and sticking with it, a child’s love of play will blossom. I believe all children should be able to walk into their playroom and want to play, without the help of an adult.

Hey mama – are you ready to win your child’s Valentine’s Day?
While I’m a huge believer in all children playing independently, I know they need some help getting there. That’s where this resource comes in.
Valentine’s Day Toddler Activities is the easiest guide to daily activities for parents who want to teach their children while still encouraging them to play independently.
This farm animal learning activity is perfect for one-year-olds. You can pick up a “snowball,” open it up and show your child the animal inside. Say the animal’s name and make the animal noise. For example, you can say “This is a cow.” or “The cow says ‘moooo.’” or “The cow is black and white.” Then crumple it back up and throw it across the room.
