Rooted Childhood offers ideas for connecting with your children through seasonal craft projects, storytelling, seasonal songs, simple recipes, and so much more.
Each Storybook Soirée features a classic fairytale and ideas to bring it to life through hands-on activities and a family celebration.
There is no better way to send off a favorite book or story than with a sweet soirée! A soirée, meaning an evening party held for a particular purpose, can be a wonderful family activity.
Science shows that the anticipation and planning of an event is often the most enjoyable part rather than just the event itself. So gather around the kitchen table, put together a plan, and host a festive evening all about your favorite characters and the things they love.
The Little Red Hen is INCLUDED in the Storybook Soirée Fairytale Collection bundle and you do not need to purchase this separately if purchasing the bundle.

Co-Op + Classroom Licensing
Are you planning to utilize any Gentle + Classical materials with a group of other famlies (co-op) or in your classroom or school?
We are so excited to hear that and feel honored to be considered!
We do want to share the information about our co-op/classroom licensing with you. This also applies to daycares OR ANY OTHER SETTING in which non-family members are gathered to utilize G+C materials in any capacity.
What qualifies as a "daycare, classroom, or co-op"?
We define a co-op, classroom, or daycare setting as: 2 or more households coming together in a group with the intent of using Gentle + Classical materials for their lesson or gathering time.
Digital Licensing
Co-op licensing costs $7 per student/per curriculum/per year (Preschool, Primer, and/or Nature). The licensing includes access to our full digital curriculum so that the lead teacher can print and use the curriculum and supplementary materials in the classroom setting only. It doesn't include licensing to print materials for students to use at home with their families. Families who wish to use the curriculum in their own homes should purchase the curriculum for home use.
We also offer licensing for our unit studies, such as On Mission, Morning Virtues, Christmas, Autumn, and Easter. The co-op licensing for each unit study is $3 per child/per digital issue.
Interested in printed materials for your group or classroom?
We are happy to provide you with a customized quote! We provide bulk discounts for these types of orders.
How to Proceed:
To use co-op licensing, we will verify your information so we can correctly invoice you and provide the desired curriculum. Then, we'll create an invoice for you for the number of students using the curriculum. Once you've paid the invoice, we will send you access to the full digital curriculum so that your lead teacher can print and use the materials during your co-op meeting times.
For a print quote, we follow the same protocol.
Please email us at erin@lifeabundantlyblog.com for a quote for your group!

We understand that getting started with a new program can be overwhelming. It's sincerely our hearts to equip and empower- not overwhelm. We have a page designed to show you which of our programs works best for each age. You can find that HERE.
