Can we just talk about the clutter that comes with having kids for a moment? I used to think it didn’t bother me— that the mess was just part of life with little ones. I mean, with the sheer quantity of toys, there was bound to be chaos somewhere, right?
Then my mom (in all her wisdom) suggested doing a toy rotation. I think she was just tired of hearing me complain, honestly. The idea was simple: pack most of the toys into bins, stash them away, and swap them out every couple of weeks.
Well, let me tell you — my mom is brilliant.
Suddenly, the mess was manageable, the kids were actually playing with their toys, and everyone seemed calmer and more focused. That was my lightbulb moment: less really is more.
Since then, I’ve become much more intentional about what comes into our home. But every so often, it’s nice to freshen things up and give playtime a new spark. A new activity or suggestion for play can help our little ones dive into a whole new direction. We all need a little inspiration sometimes.
And I have the perfect way to do just that — it’s cost-effective, easy, and builds one month at a time. Sounds too good to be true?
It’s my How Wee Learn Membership! I can’t wait to explain how this works. I am going to use one of my favorite Learn and Play Packs that was delivered to our members: “My Vet Clinic”
The Magic of Intentional Play: My Vet Clinic from the HWL Membership
On the first of each month, How Wee Learn Members get a little dose of excitement in their inbox — a brand-new, Learn and Play Pack ready to print and play!
In our home, we print it off, tuck it into a big envelope, and add it to our Play-Based Learning Library — a growing collection we’re building one month at a time.
When the mood strikes and we’re ready for something fresh, we simply pull one off the shelf and dive right in.
No clutter. No stress. Just simple, joyful play — and the magic of watching old toys feel brand new again.
For this month’s adventure, we set up our very own Vet Clinic with the kids. They were WOWed by the pretend X-rays, the adorable artwork, and all the fun little details that brought the play to life.
Next thing we knew, the kids were off — gathering every favorite stuffie and tiny animal they could find. Suddenly, everyone needed a checkup at the vet!
Those old toys now had a purpose — and just like that, they felt brand new again, and it was intentional play!
Using the printable sheets from our pack, our little veterinarians were practicing so many skills without even realizing it:
- Phonetic spelling as they wrote their patients’ names
- Copywork and spelling while noting down ailments
- Fine motor skills as they sorted bones and X-rays
- Math skills while adding up the cost of each procedure
- Problem-solving as they diagnosed their furry patients
- And of course, tons of creativity and imagination!
And the very best part? When the excitement starts to fade — at the end of the week or whenever the sparkle wears off — My Vet Clinic simply went back into its envelope and onto our Play-Based Learning Library Shelf, ready to be rediscovered another day.
No clutter. No guilt. Just the sweet rhythm of play that comes and goes as our kids grow and explore.
That’s what I love most about our How Wee Learn Membership — it keeps things fresh, fun, and meaningful, one beautiful resource at a time.
But that’s not all you will get with this amazing membership.

We started with this program on the ground floor & have enjoyed the new activities each month. I have a 2, 4 & 7 year old & I love that these activities have things that they are each able to do now & will also have room for growing & exploring each activity in a new way the next time I bring it out! This is a great resource that has so much learning incorporated, yet still feels like “just playtime” for the kids.
If you are on the fence, I highly recommend this membership!
Sarah, you have built a great collection of wonderful resources! Thank you!
**also we had started to toy rotation awhile back as well & it does work wonders!
Aww, thank you so much Kaitlyn for this wonderful testimonial! It means so much to me. I am thrilled the How Wee Learn Membership is working well for you!
