Today we will be making our final model in our second year of paper sloyd. We will be making a pen box, which is project #14 from the second year, from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This project is fairly simple, with minimal measuring and cutting. The final result is a little box that could have many uses. We may or may not have used ours in a ridiculous way, but it's kind of cute, if you happen to love hamsters. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah...

Today we will be making the next project in our paper sloyd series, which is a cute little ribbon box. This is project #13 from the 2nd year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. As we work our way through this book, you will notice that each project is designed to teach newer and more complex skills, and this project is no exception. There are a lot of measurements in this project and the extensive cutting with the Exacto knife required concentration and focus. Our efforts were rewarded, though, as...

Have you been following along with us on our paper sloyd adventure? What began as overwhelming and intimidating has become something that we really enjoy. We've learned new skills and habits, and we've made many interesting objects. I think my favorite part is that I have found my children remaking the models on their own time, for their own purposes - and they were made with precision and accuracy, the result being something useful and beautiful. It truly made me proud! Today we will be making another paper sloyd picture frame. This will be...

Years ago, when our family was just considering homeschooling, I was fascinated, reading about Charlotte Mason and her philosophy of education. I knew there was a vast array of learning to be done, and we would have to start homeschooling without a full understanding of her educational methods. So we began imperfectly, yet committed to ongoing learning. Still today, I am constantly working at gaining a deeper sense of understanding of Miss Mason's philosophy and methods. I recently found an article from the magazine L'Umile Pianta (a magazine published by ex-students from Charlotte Mason's House of...

Are you in dire need of a paper sloyd wall pocket? No? Neither are we. But it is the next project in our paper sloyd series, and so we are tackling it today! When learning sloyd, you will find that each subsequent model builds on the skills of the one before, so you don't want to skip a model just because you don't have a use for it. Our paper sloyd wall pocket is Project #11 from the second year, from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. You may...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd traditional envelope. This project is number 10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. If you've been following along with us, making the models as we go, you will remember that we made an envelope as our very first paper sloyd project. Unlike the first, much simpler model, this model uses many of the skills that we have since developed, such as measuring and cutting accurately with an Exacto knife. The result is a beautiful and useful creation. Materials Needed: ...
