Aren't celebrations and holidays just the best when you homeschool? They're the perfect opportunity to mix things up, add a little spice, and create lasting memories with your children! This year, for Valentine's Day, we made our Valentine's Day no-sew heart pillows, and now we are going to show you how to make a colorful, enjoyable, and totally unhealthy snack of Valentine's Day cookies and floats. Now, don't judge! We don't do this too often! But every once in a while, it's fun to put together a fun snack that you can incorporate into your...

As a Homeschooling Mom, I kind of love the different celebrations and holidays that pop up every month. I like to use them as an opportunity to celebrate, craft and treat my children to new or fun foods and experiences. So for Valentine's Day this year, we wanted to make something that would add a bright spot to the kids' bedrooms. These Valentine's day no-sew heart pillows seemed to be the perfect choice. They are cheap, very simple to make, and a lovely piece of décor. They would also make delightful Valentine's Day gifts. Materials Needed: 1/2...

Here we are in mid-February, every homeschoolers' favorite month. It's cold outside, too wet and muddy to go outside and enjoy nature. Yet despite the dreary day, we found ourselves eagerly anticipating our handicraft class. The ability to be creative brings a bright spot to our afternoons, and today was no exception. Today we will be making a paper sloyd silk winder. This is the fifth supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. The supplementary models seem to be included as practice. They reflect the skills...

As we near the end of our paper sloyd journey, and enter our third year of paper sloyd, I feel the urge to sit back in my chair, cradling my cup of lukewarm coffee, and smile. We did it! We tackled this mountain and we overcame it! I think back to our first year of homeschooling, not daring to take on this confusing and inexplicably complicated subject with the weird name. And although I trusted Charlotte Mason and her principles, I simply couldn't understand the purpose behind it. We put it off and put it...

I'm not lying when I said that my kids and I were a little nervous of the Supplementary Models in the back of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. As we set out to make the paper sloyd triangular candy box, we were immediately shocked to find that this model - as well as many other models in this section - had absolutely no instructions! Were we supposed to be so prepared by doing the models in the previous parts of the book, that this would be so simple as to no need...

Our project this week is a paper sloyd round button box. I can picture this cute little box being used in days gone by for tiny buttons or other sewing notions. This is the second supplementary model at the end of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. It reminded us of the 16th model from the 3rd year, the match holder, only this model is a little more complicated, with a lid. Yay! for instructions! As we mentioned in our previous post, it appears that several of these Supplementary Models do not...
