A
Child's Seasonal Treasury
A beautiful collection of poems, songs, finger games,
crafts, and recipes.
Written by Betty Jones.
I
recently received an email from Betty Jones telling
me that she will be releasing a new edition of her book,
“A Child's Seasonal Treasury”. Although
it is hard to believe she can improve on such a gem,
she has shared with me that there will be much more
of her own writing and illustrations, more recipes and
hands-on activities, nature-based within the seasons
and elemental beings bringing joy in learning the "3
R's" for the young child: RHYTHM, RHYME & ROMP!
Her original book was filled with a charming collection
of poems, songs, finger games, crafts, and recipes.
There were hundreds of ways to incorporate the seasons
in children’s play, all gleaned from the author’s
many years spent as a Waldorf teacher.
It
captured the sweetness of an old-fashioned childhood,
the songs, plays, natural materials, and wholesome foods
encouraging a lifetime of wonderful memories, enhanced
by delicate line drawings.
There are times when we are far too busy to fully appreciate
the cycle of nature and the changing of the seasons.
We forget to celebrate the green leaves and flowers
of spring, the sun of summer, the colors of fall, and
the stark beauty of winter.
In this extensive book children and their grownups will
find lots of ways to get back in touch with their environment
though verse, song, riddles, games, crafts, and cooking.
The author begins with an exploration of “All
Year Round” and then she goes on to examine each
of the seasons in detail. For the section about autumn
for example she has found apple and harvest songs to
sing, a “Woodchoppers” creative movement
activity, a pin the nose on a Jack-o’-lantern
activity, a corn husk making activity, candied apple
making, and more.
Grown-ups who find themselves thinking “what should
we do now?” will find this book to be invaluable.
Throughout the book the author makes suggestions and
offers tips on how to make using this book more enjoyable
and more fulfilling for everyone involved. Through the
songs, poems and activities children will find themselves
becoming more connected with the natural world around
them and they will do so in a meaningful way.
This
treasure was originally written with Waldorf parents
in mind, but I have found that not only was it a beautiful
gift for families with young children, but it also proved
to be an invaluable asset to all home schools and classroom
teachers making it an essential addition to all parental
libraries.
As
many of you who have recently tried to find a copy of
the first release, it can be an daunting task so, I
find myself look forward to this new addition with the
eager anticipation of a child awaiting a long desired
toy or a mother of the arrival of her new baby.
For
that reason I have chosen to place on my home page,
as well as my parental links page, the announcement
of this coming new release. I truly believe that not
only Waldorf, but also Montessori, home-school, charter
school organizations and all other like minded parents,
will not only find joy in the new release, but also
find pleasure in sharing the contents with their children,
creating many memorable moments.
Footnote:
(some of the above information I gleaned from several
reviews of her original release, but much of the rest
of what is written is based on my feelings entirely.)
We
will update as we learn more information.

Five
Little Senses
I use five senses every day
To help me learn,
To help me play.
To touch, to taste, to hear, to see,
To smell the world that surrounds me.
Five
little senses are what I need,
To use when things are near.
I use my eyes to look and see.
I use my ears to hear.
I use my nose to smell the world,
I use my hands to touch.
I use my mouth to taste the food,
I find I love so much.
Five
little senses stand in a row,
Teaching me things I need to know.
To touch, to taste, to hear, to see
To smell the things that surround me.
