Let's Get Started
March 1 - Make a Spring Window Transparency
There are many telltale signs of spring when you look out your window. The grass turns green, crocuses sprout out of the ground and birds chirp and poke out of their nests. Celebrate the magic of the season ahead with your very own spring windows - regardless if those first signs of spring are there yet or not! Find the tutorial HERE.
March 2 - Bake Spring Flower Shortbread Cookies
We reached out to KC in search of a recipe that was inspired by the season, but also easy enough for little hands to help with. These shortbread cookies check all the boxes: one bowl, press-in shortbread cookies that children will love to help making! Find the recipe HERE.

March 5 - Create a Springtime Fairy Home
Spring is just on the horizon and all of the fairies are coming out to play again! What better way to welcome more whimsical imaginative play than to construct a fairy house? We invited our friend and collaborator Leah Gaeddert to create a tutorial for the Fairy House Building Kit with her children. They spent a few afternoons curled up on the floor of their room, imaginations running wild and their mat covered in hot glue, sticks, and moss. Every morning her boys would wake up and ask, is it time to work on our fairy house yet? Find the tutorial HERE.

In most Waldorf classrooms, you will find a basket of playsilks. Many parents often seem confused at first by how a simple square of fabric can be a toy.
