Rainbow Gnomes, Waldorf Gnomes Days of the Week

These are my Waldorf gnomes. Because my background as a Waldorf teacher gives me ideas, I made these Waldorf gnomes. They are used for setting a seasonal table for example. They represent days of the week, and each has a particular color.

Waldorf gnomes

The colors are: Monday - purple, Tuesday - red, Wednesday - yellow, Thursday - orange, Friday - green, Saturday - blue, Sunday - white. 

Waldorf dolls have no face, so the kids can imagine their expression.

4. Describe the pictures using many adjectives, attributes: The snail is small, green, hungry, tired. 
5. Invent stories about their pictures. 
6. Count them. 
7. Draw the picture from a card. 

How to make fabric memory game

I found this lovely fabric that is perfect for sewing a memory game for kids. It has some divided squares and they are match 2 by 2. How I made the memory game:

I cut the pieces. I made some same size pieces for the background.  They are from simple uni fabric.

At sewing machine, I sew on the edges.

Then I turned inside out and I sew the open space with invisible stitch. The game is finished.

Because I have different sets, I made a bag for each. I embroidered the theme on the draw string bag. 

If you have another design or idea, leave a comment.

Black and White Quiet Book, Monochrome Book

This black and white book is for visual stimulation. I saw that for kids room some parents prefer not so many colors, not a mix a bright colors that can distract the kids attention. I am agree with this.

You can see the entire book in this video. 

As my other quiet books, this one has multiple uses. Each page has some ribbons for hanging. So, you can use them for a baby crib and you can change them all the time. 

Each page has a shape. There are basic shapes, such as a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, a square. Others are creative shapes: a heart, a star, a fish, a house.

This is the back of the pages. All the black shapes are sew by sewing machine. Here I attached the ribbon for hanging. 

I sew around the pages, 2 sides, leaving a small open for turn them. 

I turned the pages inside out and I sew the open. 

The book can be used as a book too. You can teach shapes. The kids can follow with their finger each shape.

The book is made of black and white cotton. It can be washed and iron.

Make a monochrome book too. It is easy. You can use white and red or white and blue too. 

I sold this book, but if you want one, please contact me or visit My Shop.
