I think it’s fair to say these guys are pretty excited for Easter! I’ve been taking comfort in celebrating the seasonal shift and crafting with the kids in preparation for Easter. It took some getting used to, having Easter in the Autumn. But finding meaning in a celebration is what keeps it relevent and nourishing and this year I’ve felt the connection again.
For me Easter has always been about celebrating rebirth and the arrival of Spring and here in the Autumn that rebirth still holds but in a different way. As the warmth and light are leaving in preperation for winter the word transformation keeps coming to mind and I’ve been working with that idea with the kids telling stories about caterpillers changing into butterflies and babyseeds going to sleep for the winter, ready to transform into flowers when the warmth returns.
It has been so inspiring seeing Phoenix and Sky taking those images into their play and making their own meanings. I’m always grateful for the magic of the land of childhood!
