Description

This is a book to guide young people through making things on their own (with a little help or guidance from an adult if needed) with few words and plenty of pictures to follow. As mainstream and Steiner-Waldorf curriculums are under more pressure to fulfill academic goals, these projects will provide opportunities to connect with the natural world, develop dexterity, hand-eye co-ordination and creativity with a series of tried and tested, age-appropriate projects to gradually build on skills and techniques. Featuring ways to make useful and personalized items, the projects and techniques are accompanied by stories and anecdotes with a narrative that will help children to relate. Practical craft projects suitable for children aged 6-8 years, classes 1 and 2 of Steiner-Waldorf school to follow on their own or with support. Tips and techniques for teaching are included along with charming rhymes, anecdotes and stories to keep children engaged.
