Over the years since Tot School began on my blog back in 2008, we have gathered together many wonderful moms from all over the world who are sharing online what they are doing at home with their tots! This has given us moms of tots a great pool of ideas and motivation each week to spend this fun time with our little ones. I no longer have my own tots but use this weekly post to feature 3 different blogs who link up with us!
If you would like to join us, here's how to link up and what you need to know about our linky...
Not sure how to link up?
- Write a specific Tot School post
- Find the Permalink for your post and copy it
- Paste the link into the linky, along with your title for the linky
- When choosing a title for your link please put your blog name and something simple about the post, also the age of your tot{s} in parenthesis.
- Example: 1+1+1=1 ~ Letter R {41 mos.}
- Photos below to help more!
When you click on your link, it should go
straight to your current Tot School post.
NOT to your homepage,
and NOT to all of
your Tot School posts
(as a labeled link).
Here's how I created my own Tot School posts back when we had tots...
- I start "recording" (through photos) on Monday of each week and continue through Saturday. I try to photograph our official tot school times, and I also try to capture those playful, unplanned moments that are, in fact, school for tots as they learn naturally. I document both on my weekly report. I tend to take a lot of photos naturally, but you don't have to. If taking pictures interrupts your flow, don't do it! Never let taking photos for your blog come before enjoying Tot School with your Tot!
- For anyone who would like to join us but isn't quite sure how to do a tot school report, here's my advice...start taking pictures, keep your camera around and capture your little one in action. At the end of the week go through and choose the very best photos that show readers what your tot school looks like. For some it is planned activities, for some it is very unplanned...it doesn't matter! Then write up a post either about ALL of your collected photos, or just one to highlight something your tot did. You certainly don't have to do the time consuming (but worth it for me personally because I love looking back), lengthy posts that I and a few others do.
- Add your Tot School post, ANYTIME from Sunday through Friday, whatever works for you. Be sure to check back on old posts if you like to see ideas, as some people put their link up later in the week.

Check your link on the original post {this is now an image linky, but the idea is the same. If you made a mistake, email me or leave a comment!...
Please read this carefully before linking up! Please glance through this list to be sure you want to stick around and link up with us!
By linking up you agree to the following:
- A photo and a link to your post may appear in a future Tot School post. You give me permission to choose a photo from the post you link up, and give me permission to use your ideas in my post. I will link back to you, mention your blog, and give you full credit for any ideas chosen to share from your post.
- Your post is current and is a post written specifically for Tot School and not just an idea for tots. It features your own child{ren} in action. This is a community for moms to come together and share their journey with Tot School virtually. You don't have to use the term "Tot School" it can be a wrap up of your fun with your tots. The basic idea is to keep it current posts only, not archived ideas for tots.
- Provide a link back to Tot School within your blog post {you can use this link: http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.net/tag/tot-school-gathering-place/or a direct link to the weekly post you link up to} if you link up. If you do not link back to Tot School, your link will not be considered for the feature. I only delete links that aren't relative, but only feature those who link back.
- Link up your exact Tot School post {not your blog homepage} if you are unsure how to do that read below!
Each week I will feature photo{s} and ideas from blogs who link up. Remember, provide a link back to Tot School Gathering Place within your post that you link up, so you can be considered for the feature!
