My girls knew what that would mean right away &#8211; felted soap! :) I love this project, particularly with my little ones. I have blogged about it before. It takes minimal [...]]]></description>

This is our second year working with a Waldorf Inspired Pre-school curriculum (although it would be more appropriate to call it a rhythm). We use Earthschooling as our foundation [...]]]></description>

Wool felt is a far more pleasurable tactile material than plastic, and we were thankful for this gift as it gave us a great base for the felted final product. We started this project in the winter, [...]]]></description>
