“We are helping to keep Mother Earth neat and clean”

It is important to mark Earth Day in a way that takes form in the developmental stage of all children who still feel at one with all the elements. Children feel at one with all of nature. 

Listening to a Lakota Story of Mother Earth

Children completely sense nature with all the twelve senses.

Cleaning around their school area

Appreciation and groundwork is laid in the youngest years by just being outside and taking it all in.  Allowing them to be a part of nature and showing them the importance of keeping nature clean. 

Helping each other 

When you model recycling, reducing spending, and reusing things, your child will follow you. This affords the small child a positive way to help keep Mother Earth clean.

Celebrations in Waldorf for small children are about the doing, not so much the words. We had a wonderful time this Earth Day by doing, creating, and being.
