There are many excellent easy crafts in Waldorf books that parents can make at home with a child. We read more and we used the computer a lot more. The children were much calmer during our television free period. So now television time is restricted to a daily half an hour of Pokemon. Handwork such as knitting helps the child with counting and involves more than just the brain.
Coloured beeswax is used to make models.
Both modelling and knitting teach patience and the joy of creating a finished object. Please help support the Pullman Kids web site by purchasing Waldorf books from our children's book store.
