Kindergarten Day 1
Day 1 of homeschooling my triplet nephews for Kindergarten. My sister-in-law is the best! She’s on board with all the plans, even when I over plan we don’t get to everything. She’s perfectly supportive and honors my enthusiasm beautifully! Even when I make mistakes, she’s relaxed about the outcome which is such a relief as I navigate these truly fun years all over again. I have to say I’m equally excited about my 11-year-old nephew joining as well. Some of the most engaging projects are with him. I just don’t know how to split my time because we keep running out of time!

Setting up our lesson for kindergarten today!
Welcome to our Thursday, August 27, 2026 Homeschool day! Today I am are working with my four year-old triplet nephews for our TK/kindergarten experience. We still have a lot of preparation to do like building our bookcase which I’m doing with my 10 year-old nephew and organizing and decorating our school space. Today we have a lot of “wet” activities and painting activities planned. We’re doing wet on a wet water coloring, a pumpkin. There’s a tutorial on my YouTube channel from years ago.

What Waldorf KG Looks Like at Home | Day 3
Welcome to our Tuesday, September 1, 2026 Homeschool day! Today is a kindergarten day! I am homeschooling my triplet nephews who are four years old twice a week for two hours a day and I have to tell you it is not enough time! They are truly amazing students as they follow directions well, wait patiently for their return or tools and are fully engaged in our projects.

Story Time | Day 3
This is the reality of my homeschool: I'm prepared in some ways and not prepared in other ways. How would I have been prepared for this story time? I would have memorized the story, practiced it ahead of time and had all the props ready. The reality? I didn't even open the book before reading it to the children for the first time; thankfully it turned out to be the perfect seasonal book for the fall.

Waldorf Kindergarten Lesson Plan | Day 4
One of the things I love most about Waldorf kindergarten is that it simply reflects real life. There is no better place to experience that than in the home, surrounded by multiple generations working together. My four-year-old triplet nephews join me a few days each week for our Waldorf-inspired kindergarten, along with their 11-year-old brother. This week my mother is visiting, so she was able to join us as well.

Waldorf Kindergarten | Wool Carding Day 5
Today we continued a project we started last week when the children cleaned and carded raw wool. We're using that wool to make wet felted balls. I prepared the cores ahead of time using leftover pieces of felt and yarn, and then the children wrapped their carded wool around them.

Preparing for Gardening | Day 8
Today we’re continuing some of the work we’ve started over the last few weeks. We saved seeds from our butternut and acorn squash, and I printed out drawings of the different vegetables for the children to watercolor. We’re also collecting more cherry tomato seeds and transplanting the seedlings they planted a few weeks ago, which have been growing so well. Since our front and backyard are being landscaped right now, we’re moving them into larger pots until we can eventually get them outside.

No Academics Kindergarten | Day 8
We are continuing with our gardening projects, even though our backyard is currently being landscaped and we do not have an outdoor space available for planting. Instead, we are bringing our gardening activities indoors and working together at the kitchen table. I love that these experiences remind us that you do not need a backyard or a large garden to introduce young children to gardening.

Fall Baking, Watercoloring & Gardening | Day 9
Our kitchen activity today was making a delicious apple crumble! My 15-year-old daughter led the children through this fall baking project, giving each child an opportunity to add ingredients, stir, and participate in preparing our snack. I love incorporating seasonal recipes into our homeschool days, especially the beautiful aromas of apples and warm spices that fill our kitchen during the fall.

Developmentally Challenging Lessons | Day 10
The weaving was simply too advanced for the younger children at this scale. They were very intent on doing it correctly, and whenever they noticed a mistake, they became frustrated. The interesting thing is that the mistakes really would not have mattered. Their bags still could have turned out beautifully. But at four years old, following the over-under pattern on such a small loom required quite a bit of visual tracking, coordination, and concentration.

Autumn Morning Basket
Our Waldorf-inspired kindergarten is beginning to feel so beautifully seasonal. I’m homeschooling my four-year-old triplet nephews, and one of the things I have been enjoying most is bringing out materials and projects that I haven’t used in so many years.

Peg Dolls, Pizza & Walnut Sailboats | Day 12
Day 12, Tuesday, September 29, 2026 of homeschooling my four-year-old triplet nephews for our Waldorf-inspired kindergarten was filled with simple seasonal projects, kitchen work, imaginative play, and a few unexpected activities that grew naturally out of what the children were interested in.
