Learn how to make beautiful paper star lanterns. These are perfect for your winter nature tables, for a lantern walk, or to decorate your advent spirals. They are also an excellent way to use up watercolour paintings. You can even coat the paper in olive oil and let it dry before folding it into a lantern. The oiled paper creates a beautiful translucent effect when lit up.

​Remember to never leave your candle unattended.

Things You'll Need

  • Square paper of your choosing.  We used a piece that was 30cm by 30cm which worked well, but you may want to make yours smaller or larger.
  • Scissors
  • Olive or Vegetable oil (optional)
  • A tea-light (you can use battery operated tea-lights too)

What are Nature Tables?

Creating a nature table is a marriage of science and art. On the science side, your children will experience hands-on curation of seasonal events. The artistic side allows your child to create an aesthetically pleasing display. ​

But, what is a Nature Table and why do you see them in most Waldorf classrooms and in the homes of families who value Waldorf education? What purpose do they serve and why should you create one?

Teaching Cursive Writing

9/24/2021

Teaching cursive is fun, easy, and has great pay-off. Cursive can be especially supportive to those that struggle with forming print, reversing letters, eye-tracking, or reading. Here are some benefits:

1. Cognitive Benefits
Writing in cursive has been shown to engage more parts of the brain than print writing. It can improve memory and learning by encouraging fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and more complex neural connections. Studies suggest that cursive writing activates both the left and right hemispheres of the brain, aiding in processing and retaining information.

2. Speed and Fluidity
