The 4 Grimm’s Toys You Need For A Waldorf Playroom
"The need for imagination, a sense of truth and a feeling of responsibility- these three forces are the very nerve of education.” Rudolf Steiner
Waldorf education gives children the time and tools to enrich their path with a significance placed on readiness. As parents, we nurture their natural curiosity and innocence to empower them to lead their destiny through Waldorf inspired play.
Waldorf play is an open-ended play that promotes love and learning of nature. The Waldorf method believes that education is integrated with art to appeal to all types of learners' whether kinaesthetic or visual. The aim is to enable children to reach their full potential and satisfaction in life through inquisitive thinking, storytelling, art, nature and respect.
Our team at Childplay Melbourne are committed to giving Australian parents the best recommendations in expanding your child’s playtime. Today we'll cover how to cultivate a child's natural desire to learn at home with these 4 must-have sustainable wooden toys.
