Hello! It's time for us to release the eighth video in our Happy Handicraft Paper Sloyd series. This project is all about how to create a paper sloyd basket with handle. We found it to be a little more labor-intensive than previous projects, but we're here to walk you through each step. Just follow along with the video, pause where you need to, and I think you are going to love the results. My children and I are creating this series for other homeschool families, who could use some help. I know sometimes homeschool moms can be...

In our last blog post, How to Create a Paper Sloyd Bookmark, we showed our most recent Happy Handicraft video in our paper sloyd series. It was a very simple way to create a paper sloyd bookmark. I don't know about you, but in our homeschool, we read a lot of books, and we are always in need of bookmarks. These paper sloyd bookmarks are a lot nicer than the scrap paper I normally grab to save my place in a book! Or the piece of random plastic that I found my daughter using as a bookmark! We really enjoyed making these...

Have you been following along on our adventures? We've been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich.

Paper sloyd isn't just simple origami. It has a much deeper purpose, which we delve into in...

When I started homeschooling, almost a decade ago, I had not thought out the entire process. There were a few reasons that I was initially thinking to experiment for a year or two. My plan was just to "see how things go." I certainly had not thought beyond the elementary grades! Middle school and high school were a distant vague worry. But now, as we move into these upper grades, I am finding that worry was unfounded. I am finding as much joy and enjoyment as I did with the elementary grades. Here...

Are you looking for ways to make homeschooling more fun and engaging for your child? One way we have done this in our home was to create a space specifically for homeschooling. Your homeschool space doesn't have to be anything elaborate. It doesn't have to be an entire room - maybe just a little corner or designated area in your home where your child can focus on their schoolwork without distractions. In this post, we will share some ideas on how to create a homeschool space that your child will love. The Benefits of a Dedicated Homeschool...
