Today we are making a paper sloyd doll house tabouret. This project is the 8th supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. These supplementary models are presumably at the back of the book for extra practice, and we've committed to doing them all. We want there to be a place where our fellow Charlotte Mason homeschoolers can go to find a solution to their paper sloyd questions. But - these models are a challenge! Not only do they lack instruction, but we have no idea as to what...

After the difficulty and frustration of our last model, the paper sloyd doll house chair, we were more than relieved to find that today's paper sloyd rosette bookmark was fairly simple and quick to make. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we made THREE! After all, what homeschooler doesn't need a bookmark or two? Or three? Today we are making the 7th Supplementary Model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. So, gather around, collect your supplies, and let's do some paper sloyd together! Our video below will walk...

I was looking forward to creating this paper sloyd doll house chair! It looked like it might be a challenge, but I was eager to see the final result and excited at the idea of making doll house furniture with my daughter.. This model is Supplementary Model #6 from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. There are 14 Supplementary Models tucked in the back of this book. They do not come with pictures of how they will look when assembled, there are no instructions, and they have minimal labeling of measurements....

Today, as part of our paper sloyd adventures, we are going to be learning how to create another paper sloyd silk winder. This project is the fifth supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Last week, we made our first silk winder, project #4, which was reminiscent of our thread winders from the second year. While there are no suggestions regarding the purpose of the supplementary paper sloyd models in the back of this book, my children and I decided for us, they are for additional practice. It seems...

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...
