Make your own quick & cheap DIY fake snow at home using just two ingredients & gift your child hours of free play & pretend play fun. Watch the video below to see how to make your own DIY fake snow for kids.

We did this activity as a part of our winter theme unit. My almost 3 year old son enjoyed it to the core playing with the fake snow & building snowman out of it. I also included polar animals figurines to his free play / pretend play. You can find more of our Winter Themed activities HERE in this YouTube playlist.

Winter Solstice Story - Yule Faeries - Puppet Show Storytelling For Kids - Waldorf At Home (VLOG)

If you are thinking to tell a story about winter season or winter solstice to your kids, then you are at the right place. Head on to watch this puppet show style storytelling of the very old Pagan fairy tale called "The Yule Faeries". 

This is a beautiful story about a group of little faeries who discover the secret of the winter Solstice. I have retold the story according to how my almost 3 year old son will understand it. You can read the original story here.

We did couple of more winter stories this winter but not been able to share them here on the blog or my Youtube channel as yet.

I would love to know if you have any winter story for kids in your collection. Do share in comments.

Solar System - Sun, Planets & Orbits - Hands-On Activity For Kids (VLOG)

Watch this simple setup & a hands-on activity on solar system & see how I gave a simple lesson on planets, their sizes, positions & orbits to my almost 3 year old son.

We talked about the sizes of the planets, arranged them according to their sizes & then made orbits using colored wooden blocks, one orbit of one color, then arranged the planets according to their positions round the sun, we also learnt why mercury is the hottest & Neptune is the coldest of all the planets because of their relative positions from the sun.

Watch this video below to know about our impromptu setup.

Book that my son loves & that is mentioned in the video about solar system is - The Party In The Sky.

What activities have you done to introduce solar system to your kids?

Pattern Writing & Waldorf Inspired Chalk Drawing For Winter & Christmas Season (VLOG)

Watch this video to know how we did our prewriting & tracing exercises this winter season using the DIY chalkboard wall at home. I also did my first ever Waldorf inspired chalk board drawing, so watch the video to know how we are going to utilize our chalk drawing. This video is a part of the Youtube playlist where I am sharing (on-going basis) winter & Christmas theme activities that I am doing with my 34 months old son. Last year Christmas activities were all Montessori inspired, but lately I am reading & researching more about Waldorf philosophy so you would see more of nature based learning, seasonal activities, celebrations of festivals, handwork etc in our day to day activities in addition to Montessori materials & activities.

Hope you liked these ideas.
