This episode of a

of a Delectable 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 way,

whether by creating something useful for the home,

or something that brings beauty to the world,

or learning a skill that might turn into a lifelong hobby.

Handicrafts are a wonderful way to spend time as a family

where even the littlest learners can do meaningful work.

Rooted childhood is a seasonal collection of handicrafts

and ways to connect with young children through stories and songs. Each month of

rooted childhood offers instructions for eight simple handicrafts with a detailed supply list,

video tutorials, and beautiful photos for inspiration.

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