Yesterday Pixie was busy drawing a picture. When she was done, she proudly showed it to me. Gammy: Come sit on my lap and tell me about your picture. Pixie: This is the grass, this is the sky, and this is the kitty. Gammy: That looks like a very happy little kitty. (I made this …
It’s sheer magic when a child begins making music for the first time. Fairy just got a new violin yesterday. She will be starting lessons in the fall, but she was anxious to “meet” her new friend 🙂 She has been watching videos of orchestras playing and you can just see the reverence in her …
If you had to guess which of our projects were most linked to, what would you guess? Our Waldorf Style Gnomes? Our Knitted in the Round Doll Pattern? What about our Hair Pin Lace Tutorial? Although those are amoung the most popular patterns, the most frequently visited patterns are for our Doorstop Cat, Dog and Owl. Meet Jasper, our …
All the Waldorf art talk on the blog recently has inspired me to pull out the art supplies a bit more this week. My older two kiddos have been enrolled in an art program at our co-op this year and I will admit that we haven’t done as many family art projects at home lately …
Oh how we wish everyone that entered this wonderful giveaway from Bella Luna Toys could win the beautiful crayon roll, crayons and art book, but sadly there can only be one winner. However, Sarah sent me an email this morning with a lovely offer for all our readers! Wee Folk Art readers are invited to …
EDIT: We’ve had a few people ask how long this fundraiser is going to run so thought there might be other people interested. We are running it until Easter Sunday, April 24. So, if you’d like to work on contributing as a family, or if you’d like to become a team member and collect …
We have all experienced this at one time or another. We buy our child the perfect gift, whether it is a new playhouse or their first tricycle. We follow the directions and assemble it with love and care, and perhaps a few colorful euphemisms for the uncooperative wrench. When we are done, and the gift …
EDIT: This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for participating 🙂 Yesterday, Sarah Baldwin, Waldorf educator and owner of Bella Luna Toys, shared some thoughts on the importance of Artistic Expression in the life of a family. Today, we are sharing a wonderful give away with our readers through the generosity of Sarah. The Give Away includes: 1 …
When a child’s basic needs are met, i.e., food, clothing, shelter and love, they are free to explore the world around them with confidence. Artistic expression is a natural outpouring of this assurance. Today we are talking again with the ever charming and wise Sarah Baldwin; Waldorf educator, and owner of …
In an ongoing quest to keep Pixie in coloring pages, I just added our Little Birdies Coloring Page, inspired by our Little Birdie Applique Block, inspired by our Little Birdies Eye Case. I love these Little Birdies. I added a limb of a tree, and I think the three look very chummy! Pixie has not seem them …
There have been many interesting ideas of how to use the design in the Little Birdies Eye Case for other projects. But then I thought, I might be thinking too small! It occurred to me that these little guys could, and should, be included in our Applique Blocks. So, I enlarged one little birdie 250%, …
The Three Birdies Glass Case has always been one of my favorite designs. Truth be told, I have about 20 pairs (no exaggeration) of reading glasses spewed throughout the house. I ALWAYS have a pair on top of my head… sometimes I forget and throw a second pair up there which gets me strange looks if …
