Handwork:
to introduce embroidery, read The Bedspread by Sylvia Fair
"Embroidery 101" is in MS Living February 2001, featuring directions and craft project ideas for backstitch, stem stitch, satin stitch, long and short stitch, blanket stitch, chair stitch, french knot,
and cross-stitch (already learned in 4th grade)
first embroidery project could be a patchwork design of your house with details added in specialty stitches (such as those mentioned in the book) and applique -- after reading this book
your kids will be raring to go on making a picture of their own houses
then move on to an all-embroidery project such as the Bird Embroidered Quilt

Share your ideas! Community Bulletin Board is a unique feature at Waldorf Curriculum where
people can make notes about things they would like to remember
for the future. If you like the idea of never losing your teaching ideas again, submit them to the website
and we'll keep track of them for you! (I can't even count the number of teaching
notebooks and small pieces of paper I have lost -- the site is much
more manageable). Simply join our Group; if you're already
a Waldorf Curriculum member, contact me to submit your ideas.
