Hand-batiked and dyed silk
The marionette show...made by hand, by all the children.
Notice the Waldorf construction of the faces and bodies.
The marionettes were dyed, sewn, stuffed, shaped, covered and felted. A whole lot of work went into these little masterpieces.
The show also had special effects. Hard to capture on camera though. :-)
Some of the children made bread in the clay bread-oven this year. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the oven has a dragon wrapped around it. The smoke comes from the dragon's mouth at the top of the oven.
A new skill for the children this year -- mosaics, representing flowers and herbs found on the farm. Just waiting for grout.
Wetland tours.
A tepee which was constructed by the younger children. The lashings were made from bark they stripped from the poles.
Calendula ointment made from home-grown honey and calendula flowers.
A book produced by all the children, telling the story of how they made the calendula ointment.
I wish I could go to a program like this every week. :-)

The lessons they learned there are invaluable--I really enjoyed my visit to the farm in midwinter, when the kids all went sliding on the ice and worked on the first stages of the marionettes. Wow, they turned out so beautifully! I wish I could have been there for the program.
Love you all--XOXO Mammam
