This episode of a Dellectable Education is brought to you by Rooted Childhood.

Children love to create and we know there is more to arts and crafts than paper,

glue and glitter.

Charlotte Mason emphasized handicrafts as a way to encourage children to use their hands in a purposeful

Rooted childhood is a seasonal collection of handicrafts and ways to connect with young

You'll discover projects like needle felting, weaving, finger knitting, macromae, candle making, and so much more.
