Crafty Holiday Season

This past December I made a poster and signs for around town to advertise our Holiday School Fundraiser. My girls attend a Waldorf School & their fundraiser focuses on "gift making". It's a magical event for children to feel the sense of community & to create seasonal gifts out of natural materials. Some of the activities included- pine cone bird feeders, natural bee's wax candle dipping, wreath making, decorating candle holders made from small wood stumps, and more.

 

Some of the signs I designed & created to be "table-top" advertisements that were displayed in local shops. I added "hand  made" accents to give a feel for the day.

 

The weeks before the event I hosted Craft Making time at my house. We made angels, gnomes, felt pins & necklaces, hid bells in walnut shells, and made acorn babies. Again, using what we found in nature & natural materials. These little gifts were prizes for the children to discover on the day of the faire.

 

Waldorf Education does an amazing job of educating Stewards of The Environment. As tax time approaches, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to your local Waldorf School, or visit ours, Mountain Laurel Waldorf School .
