The Happy Learners' Club - Junior Club
A kids' activity membership to make home learning fun for curious 2 to 5yo children and easy for busy parents
(If you are looking for activities for the older children between 6 to 8 years old, head over to THLC - Big Kids' Club.)

You want to be part of your children's learning journey.

- out of ideas for ways to spend quality time with your children and engage them meaningfully?
You might wonder if it's easier to leave everything in the hands of schools, enrichment programs or the iPad for their learning.
Why not let us do all the hard work for you, so that you can focus on enjoying these precious learning moments with your children?

Introducing
THE HAPPY LEARNERS' CLUB
Unlock a world of playful learning and exciting discovery right at home with our activity membership for parents of 2 to 5-year-olds!
Hello there, I'm Fynn.
I am the founder of Happy Tot Shelf Instagram and blog, a former Math and Science teacher from Singapore, an author and mother of three.
My Home Learning Journey with my children began more than 9 years ago, when my first-born, Zachary was around 2 years old.
To simply say that Home Learning has changed our lives would be an understatement.
Here are just some of the benefits it can bring to yours:
Benefits of Home Learning for Your Children:
- Encourages a love for learning and a positive attitude towards learning
- Sparks their natural curiosity and encourages them to explore and learn about the world.
- Builds a strong foundation in their cognitive skills
- Supports their development and growth
- Provides opportunities for joyful learning moments and meaningful connections within the comfort of your home.
Benefits of Home Learning for YOU:
- Become actively involved in your children’s learning and development
- Spend quality time with your children in purposeful and engaging activities.
- Build a deeper connection with your children through shared learning experiences.
- Help you understand their strengths and weaknesses
- Feel more confident in supporting and guiding your child’s educational journey.
Simply put, taking an interest in your children's learning can make a big difference to their learning ability and attitude.
He has a lot of fun with the activities and is clearly learning a lot about each month's theme as well as literacy, numeracy, art, fine motor, writing, scissor skills, just to name a few. He says he wants "mum mum school" to go on forever. I tell everyone I know with small children about this program!!
Anna Dee-O'Rourke
Mom of 1 (4yo)
Being a working mum I always find it hard to have the time to do activities with my kids.
After joining THLC, suddenly it becomes so easy to create activities that we can play and my children enjoy them a lot!
My son keeps asking me about new activities and what he can do next! THLC saves me so much time. I can just print the materials and create activities for my kids!
Joyce Liu
Mom of 2 (4.5 and 2yo)
My son (4yo) is a very active child and is not able to sit still for more than 5mins. But since we started doing the THLC activities, he is able to sit through for the whole 30mins doing the activities, sometimes till 45mins!
Now my son no longer asks for gadget but instead requests for more fun learning with me.
As a full time working mum of 2, this THLC program helped me a lot, as simple as click and print. That's it!
Hui Len
Mom of 2 (4 and 1yo)
Putting together my years of experience of
- teaching Math and Science in secondary schools in Singapore and in an IB college in Sweden,
- volunteering in play-based preschools in California and
- creating over thousands of learning activities at Happy Tot Shelf,
I created The Happy Learners' Club, an online community to support parents and children every step of the way on their Home Learning Journey.
When you join The Happy Learners' Club, you will receive:
- Fun, hands-on and easy activity ideas to engage your children and spark their curiosity about the world
- Specially designed printables to maximize learning for children and minimize prep time for busy parents
- Guidance from early childhood experts to help you navigate tricky learning challenges
- A supportive community of like-minded parents who are passionate about raising children who love to learn
Imagine...
- The joy on your children’s faces after they made discoveries and spent an amazing day learning with you.
- Your children are so motivated to learn because you made learning fun and meaningful
- Feeling so good at the end of the day, every day, that you have spent quality time with your children.
Activities are low prep. My kids really enjoyed the activities and learnt a lot through playing from the activities. My 4yo girl is having better concentration when doing the activities.
Since we joined THLC, we now spend more peaceful time playing and learning together.
If you are a mum with more than one kid, I strongly recommend u to join this club because it is really worth it.
Crystal Ong
Mom of 2 (4 and 1yo)
Ever since we joined THLC, I have made conscious effort in setting up meaningful thematic play and learn time. It takes minimal time and effort as the activities are well planned.
It keeps me going when I hear her goes "woah" everytime she sees a new set up and started trying on the activities. I get to spend time guiding and doing the activities with her which is absolutely a great bonding.
Apeksha
Mom of 1 (2yo)
All the activities in THLC had reduced a lot of my prep time and I could spent more valuable time with my boy while nursing my baby and working at home too.
My boy loves checking out my activitiy shelf and keep asking for more activities. I used to spend a lot of my free time to search for activities. I am glad that I signed up for THLC, we managed to spend quality bonding time together.
Jane Wong
Mom of 2 (3.5yo and 6mo)

You've got questions, I've got answers.

When do I receive the resources once I sign up?
As a THLC member, you will unlock a new Discovery Pack inside the Members' Portal every month.
Once you sign up, you will get immediate access to THLC members' portal. Inside the members' portal, you can already find one Discovery Pack, with 25 activities, 25 to 35 pages of printables and a booklist! You may download the Discovery Pack to your computer and use them at your convenience.
In the next couple of days, you will receive our latest Discovery Pack for the new month!
You can also watch the Kickstart Your Home Learning video series on the members' portal to help you get started with Home Learning.

Each Discovery Pack stays in the members' portal for 4 weeks. Please feel free to download the Discovery Pack to your computer while it is still active in the members' portal.
A new Discovery Pack will be uploaded at the end of each month. The old Discovery Pack will drop off the portal when a new one is added. Expired Discovery Packs are not available anymore.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your membership anytime. Absolutely no hard feelings! Simply write to us at hello@happytotshelf.com and we will process your cancellation in 2 to 3 working days.
Important note: There will be no refunds for early cancellation. You will also lose access to the members’ portal and the Facebook group once your current paid month/year has ended. Please make sure you download all your resources before cancellation.
You can join again later, but you will pay the monthly/annual fee that is in place at the time of sign up.
Is there a physical product that I will receive in the mail?
No. All the resources in this membership are digital so that families can access them wherever they are.
Can I sign up for monthly plan first and upgrade to yearly plan later?
Yes, you can! Many members do that to try the program for a month or two, then upgrade to yearly plan when they see that THLC is a good fit. Simply write to us at hello@happytotshelf.com and we will send you the instructions to upgrade to the annual plan.
Important note: When you upgrade, you'll be committing to an additional 12 months and no refunds will be issued for previously paid monthly subscription fees.
What ages are the learning activities in THLC designed for?
For now, this membership is focused on children between 2 to 5 years old because they benefit the most from these engaging and stimulating learning activities.
There are 25 activities in each Discovery Pack for each age group, the Big Toddlers (2 to 3 years old) and the Preschoolers (4 to 5 years old). Most activities are designed for BOTH Big Toddlers and the Preschoolers. I have included instructions in the Activity Guide to adapt the activities for the two age groups.
The recommended ages are just a guide for parents. Because children learn at different paces so you should choose activities that are best suited for your children’s ability and skill level. If your toddler is particularly interested in the letters and could recognize the letters, you can further challenge your child with the letter activities from the preschooler section. Or if your preschooler wants to take it slow in her numbers and counting, you can try an easier number activity from the toddler section.
Take a sneak peek of some activities inside our Discovery Pack here.
Are the learning activities in THLC suitable for siblings?
YES! It has always been my goal to help families foster positive sibling relationships through learning together. As mentioned above, most activities are designed for both toddlers and preschoolers, with slight adaptations for each age group.
If your children are between 2 to 5 years old, most activities will be perfect for them.
If you have older children between 6 to 8 years old, check out our Big Kids' Club!
I have a baby. Is THLC suitable for my baby?
While children between 0 to 2 years old do not need any structured activities, if you have a baby or young toddler at home and can’t wait to begin some simple Home Learning activities with him or her, you can download my Best Activities for 1 Year Old on Happy Tot Shelf blog.
Then join The Happy Learners’ Club when your child turns 2!
What are the learning activities like?
Every learning activity is intentionally designed to encourage hands-on, playful learning, develop academic skills and knowledge and spark your children’s curiosity about the world. At the same time, these activities are easy to set up and little prep time and are ideal for busy parents.
Here are two activities from THLC for you to try: 1) Animal Skin Covers and 2) Sun Roll and Cut.
The themed activities are focused on one or more of the six Learning Areas:
- Language and Literacy
- Numeracy
- Motor Skills
- Discovery of the World
- Arts and Sensory Experiences
- Social and Emotional Development
These six Learning Areas are based on the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) curriculum developed by the Ministry of Education Singapore. This curriculum encourages the holistic development of children and also ensures that they have a smooth transition from Kindergarten 2 to Primary 1.
Can’t I learn or find everything from the internet on my own?
While the internet can be helpful for getting inspiration, it can also be a huge time sink. Join this community and have the best quality learning activities and resources curated and sent to you every month.
No more wasting time scrolling through Pinterest or Google for another activity.
No more guessing if the activities are suitable for your children.
We are proud of the theme-based learning printables we designed that encourage meaningful active learning, develop academic skills and concepts and spark your children’s curiosity about the world.
We are confident you cannot find these printables anywhere on the internet!
I know all the benefits of Home Learning, but I’m an extremely busy parent. How do I have time to do Home Learning with my children?
Everything in The Happy Learners’ Club is made for the busy parent in mind.
All the activities are designed to engage young children while requiring little prep time and no fancy materials. Think of THLC as your one-step Home Learning Support Centre.
Our members appreciate the ease of preparing engaging learning activities with our Discovery Packs. With no time wasted to search for activities, they can devote their time to quality learning moments with their children.
How much time do I need to commit to Home Learning with my children?
Because our circumstances are vastly different, I won’t tell you to follow exactly how I do Home Learning with my children. Instead, through my Kickstart Your Home Learning video series, I will guide you to find your Home Learning Time, one that works for your family and is sustainable.
What’s great about The Happy Learners’ Club is that you can do as much (or as little) as you need. You decide what works best for your children and family and there will always be ready-to-use resources in the members’ portal to support you.
Will I get a chance to ask you questions about children’s learning and development and other parenting challenges?
Yes, I will be available during my office hours (weekdays, 5pm to 10pm SST) to answer all of your questions about learning with children, so ask away in our private THLC Facebook group! Members are giving priority in my communication channels.
How long will I have access to all the resources?
You will have access to THLC and the members’ resources as long as your membership is active.
Each Discovery Pack will stay in the member’s portal for a month, and will be replaced when a new Discovery Pack is released. You can download the Discovery Pack anytime while they are active in the member’s portal.
Can I share my membership with my preschool or with other families?
No. Every THLC membership entitles one family only to access and use the resources. The membership and resources cannot be shared by multiple families nor with students/teachers in your preschool.
If you are a preschool teacher or playgroup coordinator, please email me at fynn@happytotshelf.com to inquire about a special group membership.
Save hours of your precious time searching, planning and setting up activities…
And spend the time engaging and learning with your Children!

As a working mum with a toddler and newborn, it’s a struggle to find time to research on what activity/worksheets suits my toddler best. With THLC, it’s so much easier. Just print and do it together. Makes my toddler smile cause I’m spending time with her and makes me smile cause she is learning happily. The monthly themes excites me. ❤️
As typical Singaporean parent, the only way I’ve known to “teach” my child, was to sit at the table and revising through writing and working on assessment books. From Fynn’s sharings, I realised that learning can be and should be fun (for both the kids n me!) and kids actually learn the most through play. The activities curated are creative yet teach the fundamentals of the school curriculum (and more) and we can easily adapt the concepts to modify it according our kids’ readiness. Thank you THLC for this platform for us parents to be involved in our kids’ learning in such a fun way! So glad that learning is done through laughter n with a lot of enthusiasm now!
Fynn's discovery pack comes with various learning activities that are fun, easy to prepare and we're always excited when filling up our shelf with each month's activities. Most activities are really engaging for my daughter. I learnt never to underestimate a child's ability and willingness to learn, and I feel like we grow together as we learn. Being in this community of parents who support and motivate one another makes sharing your experiences so meaningful.
I'm often guilty in letting my 3.5yo to have "TV Buffet" on the days that she's not attending childcare. I’ve saved lots of activities so that we can do at home but just couldn’t find the time to prepare the materials. Now preparing the activities for my 3.5yo is so much more manageable! Fynn has also compiled a few videos to help us kickstart our Home Learning and they provide step by step guidance on how we can create quality Home Learning time together with my child. Fellow friends in THLC Facebook Group share really good ideas of different ways to adapt the activities as well! I am so thankful for this community to guide me along the Home Learning journey with my children!
Initially I subscribed for a monthly plan to see whether my LO would enjoy the activities. To my surprise, she loved the activities and always asked for more. I then upgraded to an annual plan. Thank you, Fynn and the team for creating these activities. The pack includes not only just printables but also hands-on learning activities as well. It's a great way to bond with my little one through learning.
The activities are designed not only to develop his cognitive skills, but indirectly strengthen his gross & fine motor skill while having fun. I can see his confidence, independence and imagination grow rapidly.
The low prep activities help so much for me to prepare the materials. I’m no longer worrying what’s next activities to do with him besides reading and playing with toys. I used to switch on the TV for him while I’m cooking but I don’t have to do that anymore! He’s happy playing with the activities from the pack.
His beaming smile, song singing and parading his creations around the house tell us how much he love the activities. The little time and effort spent to prep the activities monthly worth it all!
My child looks forward to the games I prepared for her. She used to come home to ask for screentime. But now she would ask if I prepare any games for her. I used to be all over the place when it comes to teaching my child. I am more confident of teaching with the activities that Fynn has put together now. Very busy preparing for activities now but very happy to see my girl enjoying it.
I started subscribing to THLC when my kid was 18m. I had to modify activities to keep it simple but she was such a champ and could already recognize and match the animals!
Fast-forward now at 38 months, she has mastered her counting, ABCs, psychomotor skills like coloring, cutting and pasting. Most of the activities are low prep, fuss free and best of all? Keeps the kid engaged and away from the screen! Win win!
