Handicrafts

In Handicrafts you will find materials for working with your hands: Filges wool, felt and yarn, fabrics, paper and card for collage, Stockmar modelling wax, decorating wax, glue and tools. Handwork teachers in Waldorf schools buy them, as do kindergartens and families who do handwork at home.

In a Waldorf school, handwork is a subject in its own right from Class 1, when children learn to knit. Crocheting, sewing and felting follow. Working with natural wool and cotton builds nimble fingers and patience, and it helps with thinking and writing too. That is why we choose materials that feel pleasant to the touch and are safe for children.

In the sub-categories, look for Fabrics, Construction Paper, Modelling, and Handworking for wool and yarn.
