    I am new to Waldorf education (and your blog) but have discovered the principles behind it are already followed by the school we have chosen for my daughter :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh! This one is my favorite of the bunch! We love red! This was such a fun thing, watching the give away and seeing who wins...

    My friend and I plan to make wooden toys quite like these ones in the next few months (probably not quite as amazing, but hopefully close!). It should be a lot of fun getting the kids involved in designing and making them with us.

    Thanks for the bit of fun, and such a beautiful blog to visit, Shelley.

  68. I was entering your giveaways mostly for myself as I adore Ostheimer toys, and really thought that Son #3 was probably getting too old for them, but the other day he happened to walk past just as I clicked on your blog and he gasped in delight and wonder when he saw the knight. 'That's so beautiful Mum!' he said with awe in his voice.

    And I thought, right, I'm entering one more time!

    Thanks for these beautiful and generous giveaways, Shelley.
