In Waldorf education, each day of the week has an associated colour, planet and grain.

Over the next while I am going to feature handmade, natural items that would be wonderful to help mark the rhythm of the week at home with your little ones.  Many of the items come from members of Etsy's Natural Kids Team (search: naturalkids).

August is my daughter Rowan's birthday month. It is also the month when the rowan trees are in fruit (the Mountain Ash in North America), so this Waldorf Tuesday, being marked by red, I am offering some bright red fruit of the season!

For inspiration, this is our rowan tree last fall:
Let's start with a wooden apple from Just Hatched:
And to keep your apple warm, a cozy by Fair Trade Family:

How about a yummy Boysenberry Beanie from Boston Beanies?
Ok, it is a veggie, but I love this little Turnip Child by woodmouse:
How amazing is this rowan tree lampwork bead?! From a new fave of mine Rowanberry Glass:
And finally, one of my favourite prints (it hangs in daughter Rowan's room), by Krisblues:
 Have a great red Tuesday ♥
