Here is a new member of my hand carved stylized animal characters. It is a cute fat hedge hog or known in German as an Igel. The actual animal has soft quills making it very cuddly unlike the common North American porcupine which quills are very painful. On the other hand my little hedge hog is very painful if cuddled.

My hand carved and hand painted white cedar shark for all you "Jaws" fans. To get a "Bite" out of this Great White catch this deal. PM me for details.

Waldorf Wooden Learning Toys Use

"Waldorf pedagogical theory considers that during the first years of life children learn best by being immersed in an environment they can learn from through unselfconscious imitation of practical activities. The early childhood curriculum therefore centers on experiential education, allowing children to learn by example, and opportunities for imaginative play. The overall goal of the curriculum is to "imbue the child with a sense that the world is good".

Waldorf preschools employ a regular daily routine that includes free play, artistic work (e.g. drawing, painting or modeling), circle time (songs, games, and stories), outdoor recess, and practical tasks (e.g. cooking, cleaning, and gardening), with rhythmic variations." (from Wikipedia)
