Northern Hemisphere WHEEL OF THE YEAR
When we begin to connect with our celebrations as more than merely traditions we naturally turn to festivals that came before and feel that connection to the past. It is then we can see how religious festivals were woven into the rhythms of the year, and how the rhythm of the planets and cosmos still beat now guiding us like heartbeat and leading us through each year. We hope that this wheel of the year will help you to connect whilst also being a beautiful addition to your home. This wheel is printed on wood, it measures 262mm diameter and 9mm thick

Winter Wheel
Advent is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our relationship to the world around us through recognizing the strength and beauty in the whole of our natural world. Advent balances the darkness and sleepiness with expectation and anticipation. A time of moving through the darkness towards the light. In our family we love this tradition of working inward, getting slowly towards the light, towards Christmas and celebration; taking one step each day along an advent path. The Winter Wheel is designed to help children enter that journey with wonder. The wheel can be used many in different ways: As a wall hanging or display piece, on a nature table with found and collected objects, as a table centre with candles or as a count down focus with a character(s) who makes their way towards the centre. Our wheels are printed on wood, measures 295mm. 9mm thick. FSC Garnica plywood. All packaging is recycled and compostable. Original illustration by Stephanie Green.
The first light of advent is the light of the stones. The light that shines in seashells, crystals and in bones. The Second light of advent is the light of plants. Plants that reach up to the sun and in the breezes dance. The third light of advent is the light of the beasts. the light of hope that we see in the greatest and in the least. The fourth light of advent is the light of man. The light of love, the light of thought to give and understand.

Alphabet Cards Wonderful handdrawn alphabet cards from Waldorf Family. 26 uniquely illustrated cards come in a royal blue velvet pouch. Created on 400gsm silk paper the cards are 148x105 (mm). The consonant letters are focused on a physical thing, C for Cats and F for Fish + V is for Valley. The singing letters, the vowels, can introduced to children differently to the consonants and we have made the cards different for this very reason. Each Angel card is a different colour and they are refered to as Angel cards or Singing cards because the vowels are the letters that carry the sounds of the consonants out into the world: they give our language feeling. You can use these cards to support a childs learning in school, homeschooling, unschooling or simply as a beautiful decoration on the nature table. Get two packs and play snap as part of English lessons. Use the cards to show the shapes of letters as children explore straight lines and curves. Play games sounding out the long and short sounds of each letter. The possibilities are endless.
Numbers and Maths
Maths Wheel Number wheels are used by children as a tool to learn and practice the times tables as well as to practice the numbers themselves. Engaging the hands in learning and seeing how beautiful the patterns of each number are really allows children to engage with the beauty of maths. The wheel is made from 9mm plywood and hand finished. 150mm wide with solid birch wood pegs. You can use the cord that comes with the product or your own yarn/rubber bands.
Using the wheel:
To practice a times table start on the number you will be reciting. So for example the 2’s. Start with the cord at the number 2. Then take the string to number 4, then 6 and then 8. For ten you will use the number 0 (just imagine a unit of ten in front of it) take the string to 0, then imagining 10 in front of each of the numbers now you can continue to 12 (2), 14 (4), 16 (6), 18 (8) for 20 you will use 0 again but now imagine 20 in front of it, so 20 (0), 22 (2), 24 (4), 26 (6), 28 (8) if you wanted to go to thirty you would use 0 and imagine 30 in front of it and so on. The wheel is made from 9mm garnica plywood and hand finished. 150mm wide. All our wood is FSC Sustainable sourced. All packaging and parts can be recycled or composted.
Multiplication Wheel
Designed to help children using the Multiplication wheels, the Multiplication wheel holds the times tables in a beautiful and connected way. The joy of colour and pattern can be conveyed to children without any words. On this wheel the times tables radiate from the centre but then also connect in a round. The colours bring energy and vibrancy to an essential area of mathematics. The wheel is made from 9mm garnica plywood and hand finished. 292mm wide. All our wood is FSC sustainable sourced. All packaging and parts can be recycled or composted.
Times table CD
A beautiful CD or download avalible to support the Maths Wheel and Multiplication wheel. Sung by an experienced teacher each song takes children in an age appropraite way through the times tables, while also introducing them to a different genre of music.
Teaching Clock
Learning to tell the time has never been more fun or colourful. With pictures that relate to the chidlrens day and a nighttime season to allow them to understand the 12 hour clock Waldorf Family Teaching Clock is a perfect start to learning to tell the time. The wheel is made from 9mm garnica plywood and hand finished. 292mm wide. All our wood is FSC Sustainable sourced. All packaging and parts can be recycled or composted.
The world outside

Building into the day a pause to observe the outside world can be the building block for meditative practice. Using the Waldorf Family Weather Observation Wheel is also a chance for children to learn the words we use when we talk about the weather. Perfect for families, teachers and home-schoolers. We hope that this Weather Observation Wheel will bring joy and mindfulness to your day, each day - whilst also being a beautiful addition to your home. Our wheels are printed on wood, measures 262mm diameter and 105mm. 9mm thick. FSC Garnica plywood. All fixings are metal to ensure they can be recycled if needed.

Waldorf Family Form | Colour | Earth
Waldorf Family make sustainable home decor and educational products for families. Our intention is to help children and their grown-ups see the beauty and wonder in all things, from times tables to the passing of the seasons. Each of our products aims to engage hands, hearts and minds using beautiful flowing colours and original illustration. For us, beauty is everywhere and thoughts are turned into forms. Nature is the first source of creation and inspiration. We believe that soulful thought translated into forms and colours can vivify home and we should all have art in our lives. We understand the importance of creating a home slowly, the need to think about the future, the urgency to become more aware of how our decisions have an impact on the world around us. Products we design are a balance of functional utility, spiritual function, artistic design, and sustainability. We use materials from the earth because they are handled with care and do no harm. Everything we create can be returned to the earth or recycled.
