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.</p> <p>Drawing 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'This is an immensley practical...
