Friendship Week | Empathy, Polishing Toys, and Baking Cookies!

Описание: Join Mrs. Lisa as she walks you through Friendship Week in the Wondergarten Winter Curriculum—an especially tender and meaningful week centered on kindness, care, and belonging. This is Week 4 in the month of February.

In this lesson, we explore a beautiful two-part story that reminds children (and adults) that everyone needs a friend sometimes. Through story, song, and intentional rhythm, Friendship Week helps children understand that their value is not found in what they produce, but in who they are.

Mrs. Lisa shares thoughtful guidance for approaching longer stories with young children, including age-appropriate storytelling tips for toddlers through early elementary ages. You’ll also be guided through practical, nurturing activities such as modeling with clay, polishing wooden toys, lavender foot baths, baking cookies for a friend, and gentle art experiences that reflect the turning of the seasons.

This week is especially meaningful for homeschooling families seeking to cultivate emotional intelligence, practical life skills, and deep connection within a calm, Waldorf-inspired rhythm.
