Finger string games are a wonderful opportunity
for today’s children to practice meaningful
movement, explore space, interact with others,
and exercise their creative spirits.
String games can be especially helpful to children
who struggle at school or are dyslexic, and for
those who are learning the concepts of “left and
right” and “up and down.” Finger Strings contains
games that will delight all children, from the very
young to those with greater dexterity.
Ringbound to lie flat. Includes two brightly
colored strings to get you started.
Michael Taylor, a teacher at Michael Hall (Waldorf)
School in the UK, is often
called the “String Man.” He always
carries a string with him,
and has been known to share
string patterns with strangers
on trains and airplanes. He is
the author of Finger Strings;

“Baking Bread with Children is sure to nourish
body, mind, and spirit.” —Edward Espe
Brown, author, The Tassajara Bread Book
“I strongly recommend it!” —Mollie Katzen,

Baking Bread with Children has everything you
need to share the magic of baking with children
of all ages. The techniques and recipes are
wonderfully seasoned with stories, songs (with
music), and poems.
Here are: fun breads (chapatti, cinnamon rolls,
cheesy snails); festive breads (dragonbread,
challah, hot cross buns); quick breads (Irish
soda bread, gingerbread men, almond rice
muffins); sourdough breads, and leftover bread
(bread and butter pudding, herbed crostini).
Included are detailed instructions for building
and using a bread oven, baking projects
for kindergarten and school, information on
nutrition, a bibliography, and a list of websites.
Warren Lee Cohen is director of the Foundation Studies
program at Emerson College in England. He has
over 20 years experience of baking bread with children.
He conducts workshops in the art of baking bread in
handcrafted ovens and over wood fires.
