A wonderful resource book for any Waldorf or Waldorf-inspired kindergarten.
Encourage children to engage with the seasons as they craft willow hanging baskets, harvest and prepare fruit, care for birds and make Advent wreaths.
In addition to fun nature activities for children—both indoors and outside—this book also includes advice for teachers and valuable background reading on topics such as biodynamic farms.
The activities in this book are based on practical experience from the Children's Nature and Garden Center in Germany and are fully tried and tested. This is the companion book to Spring and Summer Nature Activities for Waldorf Kindergartens (from Floris Books).
