Waldorf Family – Spring Wheel
This beautiful Wooden Spring & Easter Wheel takes children and adults on a journey, celebrating Waldorf Seasons and ultimately to the centre, towards light and a celebration of Easter or Spring Equinox. The wheel allows children to travel through the journey towards Easter, rather than just arriving.
The illustrated wooden wheel captures Spring, with its light joyful energy. Filled with animals and people. The Easter Wheel creates a space on your table or in your home to take time and think about the changing seasons. You could ask children questions like what can you see here, what to spot outside?
The wheel is an original watercolour and pencil illustration by Stephanie Green. It starts with green shots and blubs emerging from the ground. Then animals wake up from their winter sleep. Moving on to think about festivals: like Candlemas and pancake day. Onwards and welcoming Spring: lambs, baby rabbits, the swallows coming home. Arriving eventually at Easter, with parades and crafts, eggs and hares.
Made using sustainable wood.
Measures 29.5 cm.

We use materials sustainably sourced from the earth because they are handled with care and do no harm. Everything we create, from the box to the products, can be returned to the earth or recycled.
We are inspired by the principles of Waldorf education and other educational approaches, such as Montessori.”
About the Artist, Stephanie Green:
“I am inspired by nature: if I can help children in the built environment connect with nature and help those who do not find a good fit in the educational system find wonder in learning then I will be doing what I was put here to do.
I believe we are all here to serve – our society, our purpose. It is our job to dig deep and discover what lights our fire: for me that is drawing, painting, my family and homemaking. These personal passions were what firmly led me to create for children.
I still remember a painting that I had when I was about 6 or 7. In each corner it had so many details I remember staring at this whole other world for hours – not really sure if it was a real world – existing in that flat paper space.”
