˃˃˃ An Insider's View to Secret Sources!

This book contains resources I have collected over the last 24 years of being a Waldorf inspired parent. They are the trusted sources I used to stock our catalogs Hedgehog Farms and Enchanted Fairy Dreams (don't look for the businesses, they no longer exist) and cottage industry-style businesses that I supported along my own parenting journey. They are the resources I used to build the Waldorf Homeschoolers group on Yahoo (the first one ever!) and then WaldorfHomeschoolers.com, the website (which, sadly, I no longer own).

˃˃˃ Waldorf Dollmakers Galore!

This book is like your own personal yellow pages of Waldorf information. Sure, you can find everything that is in here if you spend the time searching but let me save you precious time so you can be free to do other things, like play with your child and enjoy your family! Everything you need in one handy location!

Preface

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, The Waldorf Resource Guide: My Ultimate Personal Collection of Favorite Homeschooling Resources.

This book contains resources I have collected over the last 24 years of being a Waldorf inspired parent. They are the trusted sources I used to stock our catalogs Hedgehog Farms and Enchanted Fairy Dreams (don't look for the businesses, they no longer exist) and cottage industry-style businesses that I supported along my own parenting journey.

They are the resources I used to build the Waldorf Homeschoolers group on Yahoo (the first one ever!) and then WaldorfHomeschoolers.com, the website (which, sadly, I no longer own).

Through the years I have met and made many friends and learned so much about Rudolf Steiner, Waldorf Education, Biodynamic Gardening, Eurythmy, Spiritual Science and Anthroposophy and I have always been very keen on sharing all that I have learned with others. Part of that sharing meant the creation of the Waldorf Community Exchange, which has now been turned into 6 editions of Waldorf Talk. Make sure to check it out – as each issue is filled with seasonal activities, stories, verses and ideas.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for downloading this book, and I’d like to ask that if you found it useful and it offers you some help, to please take a minute or two to leave a review. Your reviews help other to shop for my books and also provide me with feedback and inspire me to keep sharing!

I hope you enjoy this guide and that you will enjoy introducing the magic of waldorf to your family.

Introduction

A Warm Welcome...

If you are looking for support and information on home and/or unschooling based on a Waldorf Inspired Curriculum, you have chosen the right source book! 

Note that businesses come and go, as people do, and not all of these may be current at time of print. If you locate a resource that no longer exists, or you have a resource you believe should be in this book, please let us know by writing to the publisher. We will be updating this guide periodically and your assistance is very important to us.

As parents, you can provide nothing of more lasting value than an education which develops your child's full human potential. Waldorf ideals for education emphasize and awaken disciplined creativity, wonder, reverence and respect for nature and human existence. Waldorf methods have proven to offer a holistic educational model designed to provide the right stimulus at the right time and allow each child's abilities to fully unfold.

In the first seven years of life, the child seeks to see that the world is a place of goodness, and will learn primarily by imitation and through activity. In the next developmental phase (through puberty) the child most naturally learns through beauty, from adults who merit being authorities. (This is why storytelling and art are employed as teaching vehicles throughout the elementary curriculum.) Finally, entering into the third developmental stage, and ready at last for true independent thinking: the teenager naturally begins a quest for truth.

It is my hope that this book will inspire you on your journey to pursue a Waldorf inspired and home based education.

Blessings, Peace, Love & Light~

Waldorf Philosophy

Accept the children with reverence, educate them with love, send them forth in freedom.

-Rudolf Steiner, the Founder of Waldorf Education.

Founded in Europe in 1919, Waldorf education now includes schools on every continent and a rapidly growing homeschooling movement. It has grown to become the world's largest independent, non-denominational educational system that goes through all of the grades.

Waldorf's time tested pedagogy is designed to address the whole child: head, heart and hands. It nurtures healthy emotional development by conveying knowledge experientially as well as academically. It works with the hands throughout every day, both in primary academic subjects and in a broad range of artistic handwork and craft activities.

Waldorf Method of Education strives to awaken and ennoble capabilities, rather than to merely impose intellectual content on the child. Learning becomes much more than the acquisition of quantities of
