Head, Heart, Hands: How to Create Daily Rhythms in Your Homeschool for Educating the Whole Child is a post by contributing writer Michelle of Raising Cajuns.

While this post discusses adding Waldorf-inspired elements into your homeschooling, it also gives ideas for how to add these Waldorf elements into your family life no matter what method of schooling you choose to do.

Form Drawing for Better Handwriting

When you first hear “form drawing” you might imagine charcoal drawings of people draped with sheets (that’s what I pictured), but that’s not what I’m talking about here.  There is another type of form drawing, one that Waldorf education utilizes but that has also been around long before Waldorf and is referred to in many ancient texts.  In this type… Read More
