A sneak peak inside Moondew Steiner Waldorf Playgroup

A little look inside Moondew Playgroup-  simple resources, collected or made over many years.
You can start by hunting op shops.
Great finds include:
  • old wooden curtain rings
  • wooden curtain holders
  • wooden bowls, cups, spoons for home corner
  • wooden cars, trainsets
  • silver teapots, sugar bowls, milk jugs




(This was Henrietta's 6th birthday present but now takes pride of place in the Moondew lounge)
I love this swing on the treehouse!


















Don't forget old scrap materials that can be cut up for cloths, for shelf displays (eg blue cloth for water scene) and for dress ups.

Tip:  If you are going to make some of your play resources, use GOOD QUALITY felt! (eg 100% wool felt-not acrylic, not half/half)  It makes a huge difference to how long the toys last. If you are going to put the work in, then use the best materials you have.  It is a worthy investment!

What a gorgeous peek inside the playgroup. Thank you for posting these inspirational photographs. Helps me analyse what we might need and what might be useful to discard at home.
