Winter is here in our Kindy garden. We’ve all been enjoying the golden winter sunshine, watching our mandarins and oranges ripen on the trees and looking for stars hidden all around… the children even surprised me by making some star mandalas in the sandpit! We flew kites in the whistling wind, made seed babies and tucked them into their seed pod beds and painted pots ready to plant the daffodil bulb babies who will sleep until the springtime sun dancers wake them up. The children love singing songs of winter, sleeping seeds, Mother Earth’s helpers, crystal caves and starlight.
Last week we enjoyed a teddy bears picnic at Grandfather Big Fig Tree. The children finger knitted scarves for their teddy bears to keep them warm while the cold breezes blew.
This upcoming winter solstice is an opportunity for us to celebrate our inner light through the quiet darkness of winter. As we start our preparations for our Kindy Winter Festival, the children have been busy making lanterns, plaited star crowns and crystal pouches.
