a very useful book
this delightful books is a great resource for celebrating festivals with children and plently of lovely craft ideas and activities for all ages. A must have if your interested in the Steiner education approach. We use this all the time at home to shape our celebrations of the seasons.

great for craft and festivals
This is a lovely earthy book full of great craft ideas to celebrate different times of the year. My kids go to a mainstream school (not Steiner) but there is something rather lovely about getting together and celebrating the changing of the seasons with them and we try and do an activity from this book every month or so. In this world dominated by TV and video games, this book is like a breath of fresh air! I would also think this would be a great resource for any childminder or nursery.
