The Importance of Handwork
The emphasis on working with our hands is a unique and central feature of Waldorf education. Besides training basic skills such as hand-eye coordination, basic math concepts (e.g. counting, geometry), and the ability to concentrate for an extended time, handwork also brings many less obvious benefits. In the handling and preparation of natural materials, respect is fostered. The aesthetic taste is exercise in design and color choice. Quiet confidence is gained upon the completion of a project. The balanced development of hands, head, and heart are important for both children and adults.
