She considers in detail the main festivals throughout the year: Easter, Whitsun, St John's, starting school, harvest, Michaelmas, lantern time, birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany and carnival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrawing on many examples, she shows how we can celebrate festivals with children at home and in kindergarten in a meaningful way. Every festival is prefaced with a deeper contemplation for adults, before considering preparations with children, followed by the actual organization of the festival -- with games, craft activities and decorations, stories, songs, poems and the seasonal nature table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImported\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.7\" H x 8.5\" L x 5.4\" W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eYour book may ship from a different warehouse and arrive separately from the rest of your order.\u003c\/span\u003e Rush shipping is not available on this item.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eForeword -- The Seasonal Nature Table -- Creating a seasonal nature table -- A deeper understanding of the nature table -- The child's relationship to the nature table -- Winter -- Advent and Christmas -- Creating the mood ourselves -- Preparation with children -- Making an Advent wreath -- Decorating the room for Advent -- Advent calendars -- Moss gardens -- Advent singing -- Advent spiral (or garden) -- St Nicholas -- Children at transition age - from wonder to guessing -- Advent activities -- The Christmas play -- Christmas in kindergarten -- Christmas at home -- The Twelve Holy Nights and Epiphany -- Creating the mood ourselves -- Epiphany with children -- Looking back -- Carnival -- Preparation with children -- Carnival day -- Spring -- Easter -- Creating the mood ourselves -- Preparing for Easter -- The Easter hare -- Easter eggs -- Further Easter activities -- Easter at home -- Celebrating Easter in kindergarten -- Between Easter and Whitsun -- Whitsun -- Preparing for Whitsun -- Celebrating Whitsun in kindergarten -- Summer -- St John's and Summertime -- Creating the mood ourselves -- St John's and summer with children -- St John's Day in kindergarten -- Summer Festival -- Preparing for the summer festival -- Celebrating the summer festival -- Farewell Festival (for children going to big school) -- Preparing for the farewell festival -- Celebrating the festival with parents -- Autumn -- Harvest Time -- Creating the mood ourselves -- Activities with children -- The harvest festival -- Michaelmas -- Creating the mood ourselves -- The Michaelmas festival -- Lantern Time -- Halloween -- Martinmas -- The lantern festival -- Thanksgiving -- Preparing in kindergarten -- Birthdays -- Creating the mood ourselves -- Celebrating birthdays in kindergarten -- Small birthday presents -- Birthdays at home -- 'Heavenly birthday' -- Afterword -- Endnotes -- Bibliography and Further Reading.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40589861322920,"sku":"I-0863158323","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/4780\/4328\/products\/festivals.jpg?v=1743805903","url":"https:\/\/www.blueottertoys.com\/products\/celebrating-festivals-with-children","provider":"Blue Otter Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
