Sarah, my four year old girl is just transfixed on this video. The normally rambunctious, rowdy, and wild girl, is so reverent while watching you, and we have begun using your morning verse to transition from bed to waking in a gentle and soothing way. Lovely. Thank you. You make such an impact. What a blessing. You glow. :) Much love and light to you and yours.
Very kind of you sharing these songs. We are eternally grateful x
Thank you Sarah for these beautiful verses. 💝

Thank you
Sarah, you are so beautiful in soul! And you look great! Thank you for everything!
Love these! My daughter's nursery class sings a little different one you may know..."Let's tidy up, let's tidy up, let's put our things away, let's tidy up, let's tidy up, tomorrow's another day." It's amazing how little ones respond to these simple songs. :)
You are so soothing. thanks for the gift of your knowledge and experience
Thanks so much Sarah.❤❤❤

I am so glad I subscribed
Does anyone else run into the challenge of singing so high? I am naturally a low alto and the high registers are difficult for me. In teacher training my music teacher responded to this by saying that even altos can sing high-but my question is more, why?
Yes! I have heard Waldorf teachers singing in high voices where they are obviously straining, and I do not understand why!
Your the most beautiful person I have ever seen
like a PRAY!!!
These are great! Are there anymore? I was a nanny to a homeschool family supposedly Waldorf. The mom never gave me anything like this to do. I was one of those at the park "we leave in 5 minutes." "We leave in 3 minutes. We need to be winding down our play." "we leave in 2 minutes."
you rock ✌
Hi Sarah, I love how clear your image and sound quality is, Are you able to advise what type of video camera you use?
Hi..You sing beautifully..Lovely verses..Can suggest some verse before beginng hand work.. For 3/4 grades..thankyou
Hi, all the songs are beautiful. Thank you.
may I know the meaning of the line "beasts on the run"?
It's good
Hi Sarah do you have verses for medium kids? We cane to waldorf late but love it. I wish I could start over with my son. Thank you. I will use these.
thanks for this.
Looking for a CD of “waldorf” songs and verses... know of any?
OMG this is like actualll so gud
Dear Sarah, do you have other songs for washing, gardening, and for babies in Mother and Child groups? It would be nice to learn more songs and verses from you. I am organizing the first mother and child group and soon the first child group at home with my son included for the first ever Waldorf Kindergarten here in Cyprus. I have a class teacher education and trying to learn songs for younger children. Thank you.
Amazing ..Ms Sarah; could you please also share caterpillar song of Waldorf? I could not find anywhere.
Do you by chance have a verse for getting dressed in the morning?
Hi Sarah, which verses for days of the week or seasons?
Want to know as a single mom, I have studied waldorf education when my oldest was younger soon to go to college and go the foundalmental courses certificate. I than had two interviews with the group of teachers but was never hired on to do teacher training at the school i was hoping to teach at so my son who I had to take out because i could not afford 1000.00 a month on tuition plus a new born baby and keep working three jobs so he could go to school. Now I would have liked to send my youngest but now I would have to go back to school which could mean another 3000 grand for me and even with tuition help for him another three grand for him..If I got a job teaching which seems tricky to get although a woman there in charge thinks I would make a great teacher does not give me the promise of a job, and I feel I would just be more broke it is just me to support my kids after a long emotional and mentally abusive marriage and no child support . I like what you said how to do waldorf at home and I am thinking of ways to incorporate that in our lives instead and maybe plan a farm trip and things that might follow the waldorf spirit with my littlest one now I light a candle in the morning sing songs and fire fairy and we all try to have some quiet time before my oldest have to leave at 650am we try and hold hands at meals and now I like this about verses to say, I am also going to use utube to do some letter dances for my youngest. I am wanting encouragement on what I should do with my future do you think I should try to pursue teaching waldorf than my kids can go or do I try and find ways to work with adults that is my real happiness.
I need a welcome/name song for my class. Movement is always good. Or asking about their feelings or how they are. I would love to know if you have a name song?
do you have any summer circle songs for circle birth to 4?
Hello, thank you for these. Is there one for transitioning to bed?
Hi , i im interested in a book with cd or video with verses can you recommend one, I new in waldorf education, i have some books but i don’t have any idea how sing it. Thank you for your help
Any songs on butterflies?
Casper's COVID Choir folks: go to 5:45 for the blessing meal song!
Thank you very much for sharing your songs! I'm bilingual and I'm recently teaching in a blingual kindergarden in Italy :) I'm really enjoying sharing your songs with the children :) I wanted to purchase one of your books, but I saw that unfortunately you are not able to ship to europe... hope that very soon it will be possible : )! Best wishes from Italy
We hope to be able to ship abroad again as well! Thank you for your kind words!
Do you have a song to sing when waking up children from a nap?
I love this, but even with my volume all the way up its really hard for me to hear. Anyone else have this problem?
At a daycare I volunteered at the teachers would end nap time by flipping on the lights and saying “time to wake up” 😬🤨 Not a great way to wake up
Ouch, Erica! That would be a really jarring transition! I remember in my public school kindergarten class many moons ago the teacher would choose one child who had been very quiet during rest time to be the "Wake Up Fairy." The Wake Up Fairy was given a wand (actually a dish scrubber with a sponge-y head) and he or she would quietly tap each child on the head, one-by-one, which meant you could quietly put your mat away and come to the circle. I wish now that I had tried this in my Waldorf kindergarten. It would provide an incentive for children to rest quietly!
true that
I worked at a daycare, where the teachers frowned on me for trying to calm down 6month or younger babies when we put them in the crib and they were crying. I was being a negative influence and wasn't letting them learn to be on their own....they were 6months and younger :o
Would you happen to have a welcome verse or song for the afternoon?
Are you related to the Baldwins?
How the teachers are supposed to connect with the kindergarten children who are very young.
Your so intriguing ! just mesmerizing. I think these songs will really be helpful for my little baby girl . My angel scares easy so I cant tell her anything's with a serious face or scream nor knock at her door or she gets really scared so our home is quite but I don't think that helps when she's in day care so singing would be a much smoother transition for my sweet pea. thank you so much seriously your of great help to young moms such as me. p.s. I love your online store.
+M.J.MommyOnTheGo ~ Greetings,
If your little one is still a bit scared of noises etc. you may want to try some Homeopathy as it has helped many children in my Daycare throughout the years. Dana Ullman has authored a book on Homeopathy for infants and children, and Dr. Papon's Book: Homeopathy Made Simple is great too!
Good Luck! P.S, Homeopathy is so wonderful for all of us as it has no side effects and you can never overdose with it. Truly a gift from Nature!
I can't hear her properly unfortunately 😔 it's very quiet.. the bird is loud tho 😆
is that a cockatiel??
thought so! Our cockatiel is loving this so sweet!
But I can't sing!
The kids have no idea if you cant sing.. they only know if you are willing or unwilling to
Blessings on the fruit is a bit close to Margaret Atwood for me. Trying to convince family Waldorf isn’t a cult 😂
