Based on the holistic approach to childhood education as taught in the Waldorf Schools, this illustrated guide offers practical instruction for each stage of development, centering around 25 age-appropriate toys that parents can make at home. The playthings include dolls and puppets, knitted animals, rattles and balls, simple cars and other vehicles, blocks, and even a sandbox. The toys will stir the imagination, enhance sensory awareness, and enable children to discover more of their expanding world.
