“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.
