August Tea Time: Strength, Stillness and the Wonder of God
August brings a quiet turning in the year—a breath between seasons, where we pause and notice beauty in the everyday. Our August Tea Time pack is a gentle invitation to do just that: slow down, gather close, and delight in truth, beauty, and God's faithful presence.
Each week in the August collection is built around one artist, one poet, and one composer, offering a sense of rhythm and depth as your children become familiar with their work.
You'll explore:
🎨 Winslow Homer – Painter of the sea’s strength and stillness
🎼 Camille Saint-Saëns – Composer of whimsy, grace, and musical storytelling
✍️ William Blake – Poet of innocence, vision, and deep spiritual truth
This month’s theme—Peace in the Storm and Light in the Darkness—weaves through every devotion, painting, piece of music, and poem. Your family will discover that God is near in the crashing waves, the quiet woods, the sunset sky, and even in the mystery of the tiger’s fire.
What’s Inside?
Each of the four weeks includes:
A carefully chosen painting with a living-style artist biography and thoughtful discussion questions
A gentle, beautiful piece of classical music with listening prompts and optional creative activities
A rich and reflective poem with a short poet bio and meaningful questions
A Bible-based devotion grounded in God’s Word, with reflection, prayer, and wonder questions
A coordinating hands-on activity to bring it all together
An allergy-friendly treat recipe perfect for sharing around the table
Why Tea Time?
Because beauty builds connection. Because stillness invites reflection.
Because homeschool doesn’t need to be busy to be rich.
Because gathering around the table with art, poetry, music, and Scripture creates a rhythm of peace and worship your children will remember for years to come.
