The Grapat weekly calendar, called 7 Moons. This name was not given to the calendar by chance. Read more about the meaning of 7 Moons below. The calendar contains 7 nins® with hats in 7 colours (which, according to Waldorf pedagogy, are linked to each day of the week), 7 cups and 1 round board. The day of the week is changed daily and placed in the middle on the board on top of the cup. You will notice that children love to do this, and in doing so, remember the days with associated activities (school, sports, weekend, etc.)!
Beautiful material from Grapat to experience the weekly cyclical rhythm. Children learn the days of the week through the colours. Ancient cultures believed that each day of the week had its own planet, colour, scent and grain. These ideas were then applied by Waldorf pedagogy. Monday: Moon, rice, purple or violet, jasmine. Tuesday: Mars, red, barley, clove. Wednesday, Mercury, millet, yellow, copal. Thursday, Jupiter, rye, orange, cedar. Friday: Venus, oats, green, rose. Saturday: Saturn, corn, indigo or blue, myrrh. Sunday: sun, wheat, white, frankincense.
