The design of shapes allows children to understand the concept of a shape and encourages them to recreate it in their own way. It is a fundamental principle of Steiner-Waldorf education and the study of it enriches the teaching of all subjects in the curriculum. This unique book first explains shape design and its role in Steiner-Waldorf schools, while also addressing practical issues such as tips on suitable paper and pencils. It includes a wide variety of exercises for grades 2 to 5, with step-by-step instructions on how they can be taught, organized both by grade and by theme, using examples of student work and images from nature and cultural heritage. Teachers can use these lessons as an inspiring starting point. This exciting and beautiful book will enable Waldorf educators, at school and at home, to teach shape design to their students with confidence.
