Fall Waldorf Verses for Early Childhood
Nov 04, 2025
Waldorf early childhood verses are special for families because they weave together rhythm, reverence, and relationship, three core elements of Waldorf education that nurture both children and parents.

A turnip so round,A turnip so tall,Let’s help pull it out,But watch out, don’t fall!
Take an apple round and red,Don’t slice down, slice through instead. Right inside it you will see,A star as pretty as can be. A special star for you and me.
MichaelmasI give to you a cape of light,to give you courage, strength and might.
Waldorf verses are often recited at consistent times of the day, during morning circles, before meals, or at bedtime. This rhythmic repetition helps children feel safe and grounded. For families, these verses become gentle anchors in daily life, marking transitions with warmth and predictability.
The verses are simple yet poetic, filled with gratitude for nature, light, and life. Saying them helps children (and adults) experience daily activities like eating, washing hands, or going to sleep as sacred and meaningful. This fosters mindfulness and a sense of wonder in everyday life.
When families recite verses together, the shared rhythm of language, gesture, and breath builds emotional connection. Young children especially thrive on the warmth of shared words and the presence of their parents during these moments.
