Many people find the idea of paper sloyd crafting in their homeschool intimidating. Even as a "crafty" person, I initially found paper sloyd to be too complicated and overwhelming to navigate. Once I did some research, however, I was eventually able to wrap my brain around it all, and realized that it doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple supplies and some straightforward instructions, I am going to give you a practical guide to your first year of paper sloyd. It will show you how to easily incorporate paper sloyd into your homeschool curriculum....

Today we will continue our paper sloyd series, by creating a paper sloyd key tag. Creating paper sloyd models is something that I started with my children several months ago, and it has turned into something that we really, really enjoy. For YEARS I put it off, thinking it was so complicated, and really didn't seem to have a great purpose. We are now starting our second year of paper sloyd, and I have a very different opinion of it! The second year of paper sloyd contains more complex models, and instead of using paper and...

It kind of felt like that Easter morning when my children came to tell me, giggling, that they didn't believe in the Easter Bunny. In fact, they claimed, they never did. While they were still toddlers, they apparently casually watched from their bedroom window as I got home from a night shift. I allegedly ran around the yard, hiding eggs in all sorts of places. They watched it all and never said a word. For YEARS! Although I do remember thinking how strange it was that they ran straight for the eggs and found...

Oh my goodness! It's already our last project from the first year models from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich! We've gotten through 14 different models. Not only have we learned a lot, but we've developed some pretty impressive skills! Our last project for the first year is to create a paper sloyd spool basket. But before we start - what is a spool basket? This book was originally written in 1905, so it's clearly something commonplace from the turn of the century. If you do any sewing, you know...

Fall is here, and it's time to break out the Halloween decorations! It's time to get your home ready for all the ghosts and goblins that will be coming your way! Halloween has always been one of my children's favorite celebrations - not for what it stands for, mainly because it comes with free candy and the opportunity to dress up. So every year, we do seasonal crafts and decorate the house. One of our favorite ways to decorate for Halloween is to make a million little spider webs. They are fun, and an easy...

Last week, in our paper sloyd video series, we made a paper sloyd book cover. Today, we are making Project 13 from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. This project is the second half of the paper sloyd book cover - we will be making paper sloyd book sheets, otherwise known as pages. After all, you can't have a book without book sheets! Creating paper sloyd book sheets, and putting them into our book cover has probably been our favorite paper sloyd project so far! Once you are able to make one of these book, you...
