Autumn and Winter Nature Activities for Waldorf Kindergartens Translated by Jane R. Helmchenby Irmgard Kutsch and Brigitte Walden

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).
