1. Circle Time  2. Fairy Tales  Our winter woods animals surrounding our Circle Time candleand Angel of the Forest on the mantle We had a wonderful time today doing the “Winter Woods” movement journey from Winter Seasons of Joy. While it’s not practical for us to go out into the woods for real right now– it’s bitterly cold here!– I really do feel like we’ve created a feeling of reverence for Mother Nature and her winter animals during this circle. Favorite activities include moving like some of our favorite animals, pretending to ice skate on a frozen pond with fishies swimming deep underneath, and playing “Gray Squirrel” by hiding a beanbag “seed” somewhere and finding it again.  Winter nature table: felt mitten made by my kindergartener with small animals, and beeswax icicles on the bear cave,all ideas from Seasons of Joy Winter We had so much fun with the last giveaway, we decided to do it again!
Winter Seasons of Joy is a Waldorf-inspired activity guide featuring ten weeks of circle times, fairy tales and story extensions, handwork projects, nature tables, watercolor stories, coloring and modeling activities, playtime ideas, outings and group activities, ideas for you and your baby, and much more. Aimed at families in the early childhood years, I can honestly say that my older children still enjoy many of the activities. I love some of the posts I’ve seen around the blogosphere about Advent: Lighting the Path to Christmas. Over at Rockin’ Granola, she posted some beautiful pictures of the stained glass cookies, as well as some great ideas on using some of the stories. Eileen at Little Acorn Learning created a beautiful Advent calendar with lovely stars. If you’re using the Advent book, I’d love for you to let me know so I can link you from my blog as well!  In honor of my two oldest who got great joy from the Random Number Generator, I decided to give away two Advent:Lighting the Path to Christmas e-books instead of one. Congratulations to Courtney from Zuzu’s Perch and Amber at Green Love! You each won a copy of Seasons of Joy Advent book! I enjoyed reading all of your Advent traditions and aspirations. We do have a “Cyber Monday” special going on right now. For a limited time, you can get the Advent and the Winter books for only $20!  For one day only, you can get both Advent: Lighting the Path to Christmas and Winter Seasons of Joy for only $20! Just visit the Seasons of Joy store here. Also, it’s not too late to enter the giveaway. I’ll close the post down to comments and draw a name tomorrow afternoon when we’re finished with school. |
Rain on the green grass,
Rain on the trees, Rain on the rooftops, But not on me!  Sincerity
2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
