birchbark Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks to Woolybear who pointed the way to this on another thread. This looks like a fun, easy program and I'm planning on using it myself next year for Kindergarten. If you like Waldorf or Charlotte Mason this is worth looking at. Very loosely structured, just a couple book suggestions and some simple coordinating handcrafts, recipes, and field trip ideas. Nice record and planning sheets are included as well. Best of all it's FREE. Similar to Waldorf in that it is organized around the seasons, focuses on holidays, and has the neat handcrafts and recipes. Similar to CM with books, poetry, picture study, and a narration/journal page. The book choices look really good; lots of classic stories and not over the top with fairies and gnomes. :001_smile: You just need some math to make it a complete K program (we'll be adding Bible stories too). Wee Folk Art Curriculum Click on each box then the title under the big photo to see each season's 12-week plans in PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I've used this since the Fall for my 3yo and it's been lots of fun. My 7 yo almost always enjoys it too and even my 10 yo has gotten sucked in on occasion. Two thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 :blush: So glad I said something useful to somebody. I do wish I had Wee Folk when my guys were little, but if I can at least share the love that's good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleGreen Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yes, we loosely used it w/ the now 5 year old and it was a big hit w/ both girls (and the big boy, as a PP mentioned). Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelotmom Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thank you! We may do that next year, and I see a bunch of crafts I'm going to do RIGHT NOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thank you so much. I was looking for something to do until we officially start K in a few months and this is great. We started yesterday and the kids are enjoying it a lot. We are substituting all the books because no libraries around here have them but it's working fine anyway. I really love that it's a curriculum that my younger two can also easily follow along with as well. I won't be using it as my full K curric. but definately intend to include it with what I already have planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
