The next project in our Paper Sloyd Series is a set of thread winders. This project is the 5th model from the second year in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. They were easy to make, as the measuring and cutting were fairly basic and no assembly was required. Thread Winders? Now if you're sitting there wondering what you would do with a set of thread winders (never mind a set!), you're probably not alone. I'm pretty sure I've never had the need for a thread winder in my entire life. ...

As we are going through our Paper Sloyd Series, one of the things we are enjoying the most is the creation of little, miniature things. This project is giving us some perspective as to how sizes have changed over the past 100 years. So far we've created an envelope that would not fit one of today's cards, a picture frame that required a miniature picture, a scissors case that only fit a pair of toddler-sized scissors, as well as a tray, a basket, and a pencil box, all of which do not fit the appropriate items of todays...

It's a great day to do some sloyd! I hope you are enjoying our paper sloyd series as much as myself and my kids! Today we will be making a triangular catch-all. It is the third model, from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This was a fun project to do because it was a little different than our usual four-sided projects. Cardboard Sloyd Since our last project, I've been doing more research on cardboard sloyd. Cardboard sloyd is a natural progression in skill and materials from...

For the past several months, in our homeschool, we've been working on paper sloyd. Sloyd is an important part of a Charlotte Mason education, yet we had neglected it in our early years of learning. However, once we dug deeper and learned more about it, we began to take it more seriously, and it became a subject that we thoroughly enjoyed. As we gained skill and expertise in paper sloyd, I began to think of the next step. Sloyd is a progressive subject, and paper sloyd is only the beginning. So what comes after 2-3...

Anyone need a paper sloyd stamp book? We are moving into our second year of paper sloyd creations from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich, and today we will be creating a stamp book. Now, I'm gong to be perfectly honest - we have no use for a stamp book. We don't use stamps very often, so we just tuck them away in my desk drawer until we need to use them. But they were apparently very popular in the early 1900s, when Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades was written! Stamp books...

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.

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....
