The Beauty of Creating in Waldorf Education

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

When I was in grade school I read a story about a boy who created a computer to do his math homework. He was caught in the act of “cheating” but was not punished because the math teacher and principal of the school pointed out to him that he actually learned more by having to […]

Waldorf Handwork: Easy Knit Slippers

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Just found a bunch of un-matched slippers from the “old days” and it inspired me to start knitting some of these again. My kids LOVED these and so did all the friends and family I knitted them for – even the guys! They are SO super easy I almost felt guilty for the thank-you’s 😉 […]

My mom went to run some errands with Mosi (she is my big sister, age 14) yesterday and Sunii and I got bored so I started cutting up some of my old clothes and making new fashions out of them. I am so excited because my mom has boxes of clothes in the basement she […]

Free Waldorf Inspired Play-stands!

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

When I attended the Waldorf parent-child class with my eldest daughter (now almost 14! WOW) I immediately fell in love with the playstands. I wanted one so badly! I was so envious of my friend who had a husband who was so good at making them he even donated a couple to a new initiative! […]

Mulberry Ink with Sofi

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

After our walk today I asked my mom if she had any ink. I bought a really cool feather pen at the farmer’s market yesterday and wanted to use it. She said that we could make some from the mulberries. I wrote a card to my dad with the mulberry ink and the feather pen. […]

Alpaca Farm with Sofi

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Today we went to visit some alpacas at a farm near where we live. They were very cute. They get very hot in the summer and so they have to be hosed down twice every day. My favorite was the chocolate llama. We bought some wool roving from Snowmobile and Hershey’s Kiss. When I came […]

Making Mermaids with Sofi

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

I’ve made a lot of movies with mom but today I wanted to make a real DVD because I will be setting up a booth at the farmer’s market and I want to show people how I make the felted mermaids. I made little packages of roving and supplies and my mom made some DVDs.  […]

Knitted Stories: Firefly and Dragonfly

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Original Story Copyright by Kristie Burns Dragonfly has always been one of my favorite mother’s. She is full of fire and energy and always has something new and exciting for her little unicorn children to do. She even named her child firefly because he reminded her of the little fireflies that flit to and fro […]
