How to Bathe a Waldorf Doll
y children regularly had wash days for their dolls when they were smaller. We would set up wash tubs or big bowls with a bit of soapy water and some clear rinse water. They would string lines between trees decorated with their own colorful clothes pins. Then, they would gather all the doll clothes for washing. They were incredibly industrious in this wet endeavor. Once the clothes were dry, newly freshened, the accumulated smudges and scuffs and stains on their dolls would become more obvious.

Your child will probably be intrigued by the water and soap and gentle care even if their thoughts don’t always run to dolls. If your child has a Waldorf doll with wool stuffing, you have probably wondered just how much washing the doll can take. Really, a sponge bath with a little soap, a soft rag, and a little warm water is the best for the doll and often get them clean enough. In this scenario, your child handles the doll like a newborn, not yet ready to be submerged in water.

Tips for Crafting with Children
your crafting cupboard or drawer bursting with broken bits of crayons, uncapped, dried out markers, crumpled paper and bits of yarn all randomly stuck together with leaked glue from the left-open bottle? Does the sight of glitter and the memory of trying to clean it up bring tears to your eyes? Are you stifling frustration every time your child asks to paint? How is it that some people seem to be able to make craft time with their children an idyllic pause in their day, but some of us struggle to balance our children’s creative explorations with liking to use the dining table for meals? Here are a few ideas that might help you find a comfortable compromise for you and your budding artists. Set a Time: It is okay to specify particular times for certain activities.

Painting, especially wet-on-wet watercolor, is amazingly relaxing. Even spilled paint seems less disastrous when you have allowed yourself to be part of the activity and not just a servant to it.

ust as we celebrate a baby’s “birth day”, when they are born and enter the world, a child’s birthday can be a time to hold him foremost in your heart and remind him of how glad you are that he arrived. There will probably be gifts, but birthdays and other holidays become a day apart when you mark them with your own traditions that have nothing to do with presents. One nice thing about building birthday traditions is that they can reflect your own special family and the things you hold dear. Because birthdays are not part of the regular holiday calendar, it helps to keep your traditions fairly simple and easy to incorporate into your daily rhythm. This is especially important as families

Even if it’s macaroni with corn and potatoes for dinner and still more carbs for dessert, it’s just one day a year and can be fun for the whole family.
