Easter Spring Surprise

Before Sofi "decorated".....



Sofi at work....

After Sofi decorated the "eggs"...

I should have posted this a week ago - LOL - but the week went by so quickly and was so busy! But I am thinking next year this may inspire some people for spring celebrations so I will put it up now. When the kids woke up Easter morning they found a picture of a spring chick with some plain eggs on the chalkboard. Their job was to decorate the eggs! Just a little "twist" on the tradition of decorating eggs for Easter. I already have next year planned - I'm going to make a really big basket filled with eggs :) Sofi, age-10, really loved the surprise and went right to work "decorating" without any prompting at all.

NEW! Finger-knitting and Chalk Art at www.thewaldorfchannel.com!


Every Sunday we broadcast a new show on www.thewaldorfchannel.com . You can access these new shows and any past shows by visiting the site.

This week our PUBLIC and FREE shows are very exciting.

Chalk Art - in the "art" section of the channel

FILMED BY: Erron Evans / Studio E at: http://www.erronevans.com/
Brian Wolf, a teacher at the Davis Waldorf School in California

This is an AMAZING and breathtaking video of Brian doing a chalk masterpiece on the board at his school. It is done in fast-motion so you feel as if the picture is being created out of the air. It really took him 45 minutes to do but the video is only 5 minutes long! Even though I could not duplicate his art I did learn a lot about chalk drawing from watching this and was inspired as well!

Finger-Knitted Flowers - in the "crafts" section of the channel

by www.thedreamangels.com

A lot of people have been asking how to make those finger-knitted flowers I posted a picture of a couple weeks ago on my BLOG so here is an 8-minute tutorial on making VERY EASY and very beautiful finger-knitted flowers. This is an original pattern that my daughter and I created 4 years ago. And I know you all need something to do with that 1000 meters of finger-knitting you have around your house - right? These also make a perfect Valentine's Day project AND GIFT. Everyone we have gifted these to before has been thrilled with them.

Enjoy!

Blessings & Health,
