Today we will be creating a paper sloyd handkerchief box, such as would have been used in the early 1900s. This is project #7 from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This is a cute little box with an attached lid that would probably hold 1-2 handkerchiefs. In this century, since we now consider handkerchiefs unsanitary, we would probably use this box for Kleenex or a small collection of some sort. We found this model to be a little more difficult because the instructions were not as clear...

One thing I have enjoyed, while working through our paper sloyd projects, is our little insight into the world in 1905. Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades, the book we are using as our guide was written in that year, and it provides little peeks into the world in that time. Now-a-days, if I need a box, or a portfolio, or a tag to put on my suitcase, I simply go to the store and buy one. Even as a crafty DIYer, I am still going to go to the store for most of my needs.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be calling a rodent lovable, but here I am. If you follow along with our blog, you may remember a couple of months ago, we talked about How to Teach Your Child Responsibility Through Pet Ownership. My son had recently got some fish, and my daughter was wanting a pet of her own as well. She had decided on a hamster, so for her birthday we got her a new pet hamster, named Desirée. Luci Did the Research Owning a pet is a bit of a learning curve. Every...

The next project in our Paper Sloyd Series is a set of thread winders. This project is the 5th model from the second year in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. They were easy to make, as the measuring and cutting were fairly basic and no assembly was required. Thread Winders? Now if you're sitting there wondering what you would do with a set of thread winders (never mind a set!), you're probably not alone. I'm pretty sure I've never had the need for a thread winder in my entire life. ...

Don't you love this time of year? We just celebrated Thanksgiving, and we are now preparing and looking forward to Christmas and New Year's celebrations. This time between Thanksgiving and New Years is a special time. Like most other families, this is a time when we become more intentional about spending time with our friends and family - and especially our children. Spending time with our children is something that a homeschooler tend to do a lot of, but when a holiday rolls around, we get really serious about creating happy moments and memories. Our...
