The children in my class are also old enough to do cross-stitch (generally introduced in 4th grade in Waldorf classes, to complement work with fractions) so if we wanted to do a simple Tree ornament design, that would be a good way to go. Again, we don't have time this year -- but maybe next year!

Hi Sally, No I don't mind at all! I'd love to see your blog. Couldn't find the link, though. I'd love to have you add my curriculum website link to your webpage under homeschool resources -- it is waldorfcurriculum.com.
