Hello there!I have 2 daughters, the eldest of whom is 4.5 yrs old. My MIL has asked for suggestions for her birthday.

What is the name of your beloved, wooden, play kitchen for your children? And where did you buy it?We'd like to purchase a nice, solid piece for our 2 year old daughter.Thanks,Lydia...
Just looking for some feedback for you that have read the Grimm's tales. I am looking to read to my son, however I do want the "gentlest" ones. I hate the ones that start out "the little girls mother and father died, she had noone and was left in the woods alone with a fierce wolf"! Now...
I've tried implementing a weekly ritual of bread baking but I still haven't found a no nonsense bread recipe that tastes good and cooks evenly. Okay, so I'll admit I'm not exactly the best baker either. :wink So I was hoping that some of you would share your favorite bread r...
Okay, maybe that should have been "modern Waldorf family..."Dd was walking around with a wooden block to her cheek & ear using it for a cell phone today. :o Add yours!...
another funny "Waldorf" moment tonight. A bit on the gross side, but I thought it was funny enough to share...We were settling into bed to read a story for bedtime, when my 6 yo was scratching her ear. She looked at her finger and said "ooh, wax." I counted to five in my head just knowing what...
I am very concerned about "waldorf" education being commodified. Waldorf is not a way to decorate your home or a way of dressing your family. Let's start a discussion about what true waldorf philosophy is about. The last thing Waldorf advocates for is being able to purchase a life-style....
I just started reading this book and it is wonderful. I am due with my first baby in June and this is the book I have been looking for. I also read Across the Rainbow Bridge and it has inspired me daily with my work watching a 2 year old boy. Unlike other parenting or baby books that are full...
I'm wondering if those of you with playstands could tell me how often your kids play with them. I just love them, but before we attempt to build or buy a set I would like to hear about how your kids are using them. (And how old your kids are - mine are 4.5 and 16 months.) Is it realistic to...
I am looking into doing a homeschool Waldorfy thing with my middle son. With the exception of bad school experiences, what is it that some of you like or dislike about the whole Waldorf program? (Since I will be doing it at home, I don't feel that school experiences will be helpful, not to...

Got this from the Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/03/14/nedu14.xml) today.If Steiner/Waldorf nurseries do not comply (which they do not intend to do), they lose their state subsidys. :irked: Wonderful. How long before something like this comes to the US?Moder...
My dd just turned 3, is an only child, surrounded by lots of doting adults, but no playmates her own age. No cousins, neighbors, etc....Needless to say, she has had very limited opportunity to play with kids her own age. Unfortunately, she is also very, very shy. When she does have an opportu...
