Spring and Summer Nature Activities for Waldorf Kindergartens - Paperback

by Irmgard Kutsch (Author), Brigitte Walden (Author), Jane R. Helmchen (Translator)

A wonderful resource book for any Waldorf or Waldorf-inspired kindergarten.

Encourage children to engage with the seasons as they build bird boxes, use plant dyes, make earthworm boxes, grow and cook fresh herbs, create Easter bowls and care for butterflies.

As well as fun nature activities - both indoor and outdoor - for children, this book also includes valuable background reading and advice for teachers, such as how to create your own kindergarten garden.

All 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.
