Additional Learning Resources for The Wind in the Willows Art & Baking Study Guide by The Build Your Masterpiece Class

Chapter 9: Wayfarers All

Today we are reading chapter 9 in the “Wind in the Willows”, called Wayfarers All and in this chapter, we see Rat, who meets Sea Rat, a Rat like himself, but very different. He learned about a life full adventure and travel. In this chapter we see Rat become sad, and he reflects upon his life and wonders if he to could go and travel like the Sea Rat. Mole helps him see the good in his life and in the river bank and encourages him to write poetry. In our Artwork today, while we finish our colorful village, let’s think about our village… is it on a river bank, or is near the sea?

Discussion Ideas:
