Holiday Faire - Saturday, December 3, 2011
Waldorf School of the Peninsula (WSP) hosts our Holiday Faires on the first Saturday in December. The 26th annual Holiday Faire will be on Saturday, December 3, 2011, 10am-4pm at our Los Altos campus (11311 Mora Drive).
The event, with activities for children and adults, is based on centuries-old traditions and is steeped in beauty and reverence for the winter season.  A variety of hands-on activities are available to faire goers, including hand decorating gingerbread cookies, dipping beeswax candles, and making wreaths, centerpieces, garlands and candle holders with and abundance of colorful natural materials. The Gnome Adventure is an especially beloved activity, where children crawl through a passage lined with wintry vignettes that show gnomes hard at work doing seasonal chores. At the end of the journey each child chooses a decorated treat from the cookie tree. There are also old-fashioned games of skill, such as Treasure Mountain, Leap of Faith, Troll Bridge, Shoot for the Stars, Catapult Castle, Balance Challenge, Pillow Jousting and Beanbag Bonanza. In a special “kids-only” Elves Workshop, with the assistance of some grown-up helpers, children can make gifts for loved ones. A puppet show, based on a traditional fairy tale, will also be performed for children.  Entertainment throughout the day includes African drumming, Morris and Folk Dancing and performances by Waldorf students, parents and faculty. Wholesome delicious food is available in the café and the Russian Tea Room, and free on-site parking and shuttles to nearby lots are provided. For those wishing to shop for some quality holiday gifts, an expanded school store offers hundreds of beautiful handmade and unique items for sale, including European wooden toys, candles, knit scarves, shawls, felted purses, children’s books, parenting and craft books, yarn and knitting materials, art and craft supplies and one-of-a-kind dolls. |
