I know that Waldorf favors original Grimm fairy tales for kids, but introduced slowly over a period of time with certain stories for certain ages. What about toddlers? I seem to recall that Grimms might be too old for them, but what stories to tell?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234053384715284079.post-3472447121351240102010-11-13T16:29:49.015-07:002010-11-13T16:29:49.015-07:00Thank you for the response.

I've only tried storytelling a few times. The one the children still talk about is when I told them Jan Brett's "The Mitten" from memory while walking the neighborhood. We found a Sassafras tree during our walk. I picked some of the mitten shaped leaves and threw them in the air, so the children could "find" their lost mitten. They absolutely loved it! They wanted that story every time we walked for months even though the leaves had fallen off the tree. I should try some storytelling again. I look forward to your ideas. Thank you.aralynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029895460681260999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234053384715284079.post-6336888266139916862010-11-12T02:38:20.443-07:002010-11-12T02:38:20.443-07:00I'm so glad you're loving it!

Are you alone with your group, or do you have an assistant? Let me know, and I'll write a post for you.<br /><br />Fairy tales with lots of repetition are loved even by young toddlers. The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks & The Three Bears are ones I've done really successfully. When I had mostly 2-year-olds, I would tell the same story for two or three months at a time, or even longer. You can tell it, do it as a puppet show, and act it out together (where you are the wolf and all the children are the pigs).Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220588787321619838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234053384715284079.post-11846096941615776252010-11-11T05:08:02.511-07:002010-11-11T05:08:02.511-07:00Hi Miss Faith.

Most of the children are young toddlers. I have yearned to find a blog like yours for years. Last night I read all your entries, and every single one described moments that occur on any typical day in my childcare. I am absolutely giddy and joyful in anticipation of using all your strategies. Your demeanor and patience with the children is truly inspiring. I can't wait to read your future entries. My childcare is lightly Waldorf inspired. Most Waldorf books and online curriculums I've researched are geared toward older children (older preschoolers and up). I'd love to know more about the art experiences and stories you've found successful and enjoyable to toddlers. Thank you again for sharing your ideas and experiences.aralynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029895460681260999noreply@blogger.com
