I know many of you have been waiting. It’s finally here. Enrollment for both The Beauty of Play subscriptions are open. It closes June 14th.
I am WAY too excited about this Gluten-free sourdough bread. I make my kids gluten filled sourdough bread about weekly or sometimes twice a week. I love the process and find it so easy. Needs timing, yes? Observation, yes, but I’m a super lazy sourdough baker and skill, hmmm, that one is questionable. I don’t have any major skill other than the desire to do less and play more. 

Gluten and I aren’t close friends. We don’t really have an adverse relationship, but she rubs me the wrong way if you know what I mean. Basically she causes inflammation in my body, so we don’t eat together. Especially while I have long covid, because I’m having mast cell issues with it.
I recently did a watercolors in Waldorf video for my Homeschooling subscription community. I forgot how much I love the experience of wet on wet.

The last night of vacation.
Practicing on a construction for the end of it block- Division of a circle by 12. It’s the same as my chalkboard drawing (see a few posts back.) This one, is obviously in watercolor.
We are on week one of our sixth grade geometry. In fifth grade in the Waldorf schools, form drawing in the earlier years metamorphizes into beautiful freehand geometric drawings. However, there is a lot of experience type activities that happen, just as in form drawing, before the pencil meets the page.
Theodorus’ spiral
The early years of Waldorf are filled with the beautiful, sometimes flowing, art of form drawing. In fifth grade this form drawing morphs into Freehand Geometry.
