Main area for learning
Drawers for supply/music/CDs.
Large bookcase for flashcards & book.
Small bookcase for theme of the week and tot trays.
Computer is a must for e-flashcards and Brillkid.
High chair to keep Tiger in place.
Container under high chair for sensory tub.
Bookcase for puzzle/games/printouts
Is it too much? Sensory overload? Nah, we love it. It's our little happy place. Just 1 hour or more a night. Usually longer on weekends for art & craft that's not too messy. Messy work is done outdoor.
Luckily Little Tiger has some OCD traits like mummy and he likes to arrange things. Once he spent 10 minutes using his forefingers to keep his books upright in the Ikea spice rack.
So, my dear Little Tiger, I hope that when you read this later in life, you would understand that this is one of the ways mommy express my love to you. I believe that you can do whatever you put mind and heart to.
The room evolves with Tiger: Here is an update of Tiger's classroom at 16 months

Hi Jessica...just found your great blog thru Living Montessori Now. I LOVE your Toddler classroom...it reminds when I started doing "school" with my little princess since an early age, too....our livingroom (we were living in a 1 bedroom apartment) looked like a daycare center but was our happy and fun place, too! Now she's 3 years old and started on a "real" school but our happy place is still available and growing for more learning (I think I can't miss my baby's expressions whenever she's learning something new!). Love your Continent Lesson and will be saving the ideas for our unit, too! Take care!
Thank you for stopping by & your kind words :)
That's what I call the room too "Our Happy Place". Great minds think alike..LOL
hi Jess,
wonder where you buy all these education stuff and furniture for little tiger?
HI Mun Keen,
My furnitures are mostly old ones from my study except the child-size table and chair which are from IKEA. The small bookcase is free from Grolier when I purchased some of their products.
Our educational stuff is mostly from USL education (Summit, USJ), and kids.net.my. I have a more extensive list in the FAQ page at the top of my blog.
Cheers!
