The Root Children Have Come!


The Waldorf family classic "The Root Children" by Sibylle Von Olfers has made its debut in our home.  I have had such fun creating them and still plan on adding snow drops, daisys and a few others before spring is officially here.  Narina is still only 1 and a half, so she calls them flower babies.  I think that is perfect.  They make me smile and I look forward to adding them to our family nature table next month.
