Rudolph Steiner (Waldorf education) called rhythm the 'carrier of life' and believed that young children benefit from consistency of routine.
♥ You will receive the set of gnomes pictured♥
In Waldorf practice each day of the week is marked by a specific colour:
PURPLE Monday
RED Tuesday
YELLOW Wednesday
ORANGE Thursday
GREEN Friday
BLUE Saturday
WHITE Sunday
Wearing and incorporating that colour on 'its' day will help create a rhythmic pattern to daily life, even as seasonal celebrations mark the broader sweeps of time. Put your little gnome for the day in your play or learning space, use him in storytelling and play... made for little hands!
{{ A great teaching toy for learning the colors and counting as well! }}
100% wool, firmly needlefelted.
Set includes 7 gnomes (with various skin tones and 7 different colored beards!), and a hand stamped muslin drawstring bag for storage.
Due to the beards, the gnomes will require gentle hands, and are best suited for children age 3 and up.
Needlefelting is the process of turning raw wool fiber into felt with thousands (and thousands) of jabs with a special needle. It is a timestaking process and we use only high quality, hand dyed natural fibers to create heirloom quality toys.
We ship from Canada.
