High in the sky, of course when it is not needed here on earth, hides the Rainbow. But it looks nothing like a rainbow you're used to seeing. When it visits us it is all proper and orderly. But when it is at home, its true playful nature takes over and colors mix and change places and play hide-and-seek.
Inside the rainbow live 6 little Rainbow elves. They really like their ever-changing colorful home and don't mind moving their possessions around every few days. The Red elf is always full of energy and bossing others around, the Orange and Yellow elves are happy and careless, the Blue elf is serious and slow in making decisions, they often have arguments with the Red elf. The Green elf likes everybody to live in peace and is usually the connecting link between others. And on the very top, in the littlest purple house, slightly away from others, lives the little Violet elf, who likes stargazing and dreaming.
But, despite all their differences, they are all best friends and cannot imagine ever parting. They have all sorts of adventures. Did you know, for example, that if you line up the rainbow arches just right, you can travel across that Rainbow Bridge to other wonderful worlds? Little elves do it all the time, since it is not that often that the Rainbow has to make an appearance in our skies. But this is quite a different story…
Visit next week for a master class on how to make your own Rainbow elves.
where is a purple? K.O.
ReplyDeleteI called her Violet.
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet, thanks for stopping by my blog, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteNeat! Did you make the elves yourself and just bought the rainbows?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I made the elves and together with the rainbow (a wooden stacking toy, I love it!) they will be given to Kitten this Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVE it!!! Did you come up with the story yourself? I read it, and it instantly gave me that feeling of magic and fairytale, remember like we were discussing on Sunday? I immediately wanted to play with the elves and come up with more stories :) Kitten is a lucky girl, she will have that magic world view as part of her life. What's the occasion on Thursday? You should tell us whether she liked it (although I am sure she will!)
ReplyDeleteI thought you would like it. Yes, I wrote it myself and this is exactly the feeling I was trying to achieve. I often feel it just on the tips of my fingers and rarely can I catch it, but I believe this is the feeling all children should grow up with, this is one of the major reasons why we are doing Waldorf in our home.
ReplyDeleteThursday is St. Patrick's Day. Isn't it the perfect excuse for such a present? And imagine, I did not plan it, it only occurred to me after I bought the rainbow and made the first 2 elves (which initially were not planned for anything special).
Oh my gosh, you made up the story??? Wow, well done! I completely thought it was a Waldorf tradition story, like the angels one. I am impressed! I might just ask you to be a fairy Godmother one day ;)))
ReplyDeleteComparing it to Waldorf story is the best compliment you could have given me :) I am just learning...
