Waldorf Autumn Picnic

After a chilly morning, Sunday warmed up into a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and warm sunshine.

In fact, it was a perfect day for a picnic ~ an Autumn Picnic ~ at our Waldorf school!


We found a great spot for our blanket and sat down to enjoy a sausage sizzle, followed by chocolate chip biscuits… mmmm

While families flew kites in the sky, joined in egg and spoon races, we found a great area to play…

…there were giant sandpits for digging and making cubby houses… and steps for creating your own waterfall…

…’magic dust’ to fill our pockets

…and glimpses of whimsy and magic

The only thing missing was lashings of ginger beer (well if you happen to be an Enid Blyton character on a picnic) *smile*

In our Autumn garden,
Where we singing go,
Leaves are falling, falling, falling,
Wild the winds do blow


Warmly, Kelly

 

It’s flower paint!

Max loves to use his dad’s tools. Screwdrivers, spanners and especially hammers! So when I came across flower pounding on Rhythm of the Home (love that site!) I knew we had to give it a try!

Max carried my little basket from when I was small, and we wandered around the garden choosing our flower palette. We picked lavender, bottle brush, pansies, love-in-the-mist and many others.

When I got the hammers out and helped Max lay his flowers on paper, with tea towels on top, he seemed rather curious! What would we use the hammer for?! Once he saw what to do, off he went – pounding away happily.

 

He kept peeking as he went, and when he saw what was happening cried ‘it’s flower paint!’

 

Flower paint indeed *grin*

Blessings, Kelly
