Waldorf Block: Herb'n Kids: Kids Can Heal: Herbs
Herbs can be used for healing, health, and nutrition. In this class we explore all those aspects of herbalism from a child’s point of view. This class includes many videos of herb class I have held in my home for children, lectures I have given and many hands-on activities that include the body as well as the mind. Herbs are explored through art, stories, and the six senses – hearing, touch, smell, sight, taste and intuition. See a list of classes included in this set below.
