The Happy Needle is divided into three main parts and commences with the background into “what is craft?” Building on Rudolph Steiner’s Hand Work Indications and Study of Man, The Happy Needle explores values of craft to the young child, its effects on the development of the Twelve Senses, the Will Forces and insight in the Four Temperaments. This introductory section concludes with a brief oversight into the epoch of each class level and the projects best tailored to support their development. The second part speaks to creating an atmosphere for the handwork class and details individual projects by class level. From ‘Twisties’ and Finger knitting, to Toy and Doll-making, The Happy Needle is a foundational guide that details the handwork journey in Waldorf education. This dynamic book concludes with a myriad of useful information for teachers, insight and advice on curricula, classroom management as well as working with and fostering the development of the child.
