Handwork and Practical Arts in the Waldorf School—Elementary through High School

This book examines how working with the hands opens up neurological passageways that establish the foundation of thinking. Copiously illustrated, this book shows how the conscious development and training of the hands in the Waldorf curriculum, from kindergarten through the high school, lead through the heart forces to enhanced cognition in students. It also serves as a practical guide to the subjects that make up this curriculum.
