The sun is out and open-ended play is calling. We’re sharing our most-loved Waldorf-inspired outdoor toys for toddlers through kindergarten — from mud kitchens to gardening sets — that invite hours of imaginative, nature-connected play all season long.

We welcomed our third baby in early January and it was a wonderfully cozy, and yet still somehow busy winter home with the three children. Focusing on bonding and quality time together, we kept our four year old home and did a lot of projects like painting, drawing, making play dough, loads of baking, and a lot of reading. DC saw some of the coldest temps in decades over the end of January and into February - and it was too chilly to take the newborn out for a couple of weeks

Here are a few fun ideas for thoughtful presents for people in your life who you enjoy making happy. Just a quick post to get some ideas rolling in case it’s helpful; nothing particularly Waldorf or Danish specific here but some good items nevertheless. Activities with kids at holiday time: This lovely little beeswax candle making kit is so cute, I plan to get one asap to start making candles with my kids that we can give as gifts to teachers, grandparents, and more!
