Seasonal Festivals Quick Start Pack

Say goodbye to overwhelming festival planning and hello to joyful, meaningful celebrations. This Seasonal Festivals Quick-Start Pack gives you everything you need—key themes, stories, crafts, recipes, and a simple festival rhythm template—so you can bring Waldorf-inspired festivals to life without stress or hours of prep.

Whether you're a parent at home, homeschool, co-op, or in a classroom, you’ll have ready-to-use inspiration at your fingertips to create joyful, seasonal traditions with ease.

Feel overwhelmed by where to start—Waldorf festivals sound beautiful, but figuring out what to include (and how to make it work) feels daunting.

Struggle to move beyond the commercialised version of festivals— you want to create meaningful, nature-connected celebrations but are unsure of how to shift traditions purposefully.

Wish you could bring more community and family into their celebrations but don’t know how to structure festivals in a way that makes it easy for others to join in.

How to adapt traditional Waldorf festivals for both hemispheres so they align with the natural seasons and feel relevant to your location.

How to make festivals feel meaningful and contemporary rather than just repeating old traditions that don’t fully resonate with your family or classroom.

How to create a festival rhythm that feels natural and achievable—balancing storytelling, crafts, food, and community without feeling overwhelmed.

How to include family and community in festival celebrations in a way that deepens connection without requiring elaborate planning or effort.

A practical, quick-reference tool to make planning and celebrating the festivals joyful with children of all ages. The guides include:

An overview of the four main seasonal festivals (Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Advent), plus Whitsun and St John's Tide

Suggested timings and adaptions for both hemispheres

Suggested Waldorf-inspired stories, songs, recipes, and group activities for each seasonal festival

4 Ready-to-use Craft Activities with full instructions aligned to the seasonal festivals

Festival Preparation Checklists for each festival to ensure you have everything prepared and ready for the festival and lead-up

A short overview of two 'extra' festivals: Whitsun and St John's Tide, including the impulse, a story suggestion, and an aligned craft activity

These are Waldorf-inspired festivals made possible with a simple, meaningful rhythm and activities to bring them to life in your home or classroom.

Hey, I’m Sophie

Waldorf Class Teacher, Curriculum Developer, and mentor passionate about simplifying the Waldorf planning process. I founded Waldorf this Way to help homeschoolers, parents, and classroom teachers discover the beauty and joy of Waldorf education without the struggle of trying to figure out how to do it from scratch. For years, I struggled with having to go back to the drawing board to make my experience of Waldorf education and traditions meaningful, contemporary, and contextualised for my children here and now. I developed my own resources and strategies for bringing the magic of Waldorf education to life, and I’ve consistently watched children experience the goodness, beauty and truth of deeply meaningful and contemporary Waldorf traditions because of practices that work.

I’ve helped parents, homeschoolers, and teachers have the tools and support they need to bring the joy of Waldorf experiences to life for their children, regardless of where they are in the world or what they want to bring within their experience of traditions. Whether you’re brand new to Waldorf education or know it inside out, if you’re ready to rediscover the joy of traditions and festivals, I’m here to help.
