The Waldorf method emphasizes imaginative play, art and creative activities, music, storytelling, authentic handwork, and honoring the rhythms of the seasons and of life. The preschool years are recognized to be a special time in the development of the child.
The idea for this newsletter came about when my husband was complaining that he had no idea what to do with our kids on the weekends. He suggested I put together some activities that could be used by non-homeschooling parents, grandparents, babysitters, etc. The newsletter is written in a way that is consistent with the Waldorf method but does not assume prior experience.
These activities are intended for ages 3 - 5.
Each weekly installment contains ONE DOZEN suggestions for the upcoming Saturday. You can expect to see ideas such as (but not limited to) the following:
- opening verse
- songs & music activities
- recommended books
- games
- art activities
- nature activities
- handwork & gift making ideas
- closing verse
Use the weekly newsletter topics as a mini-unit, perfect for youth groups, summer camps, day care, etc. This is a fun, easy, and economical way to build up a portfolio of new ideas or to learn more about the Waldorf approach to learning.
Back issues of the newsletter are available online at no charge. The newsletter is sent out exclusively to Waldorf Curriculum members.
