Our YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts with Joanna Cinnamon is growing! Today we are excited to present the third video in our paper sloyd series, taken from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This video will teach your young students how to create a paper sloyd picture frame. I think you are really going to enjoy this project - it's the cutest so far (and I'm sure that has nothing to do with the adorable picture that we put inside!) Many years ago, along with some wonderful co-workers, I helped to organize a fund-raiser....

A deeper dive was necessary to clear this up for me once and for all. I knew that sloyd was a system of education focused on manual training in certain types of handicraft, using such things as paper, cardboard, wood, and metals. But what was...

When I decided to start homeschooling, I had this grandiose vision for our geography lessons. It was my dream to travel and experience the world first hand with my children. I envisioned us learning Roman history while wandering the Roman Coliseum, and getting a good workout while climbing to Machu Picchu in Peru. I imagined exploring ruined castles in Scotland while learning of raging battles, and combing exotic beaches for even more exotic shells while learning natural history. Then, just as we were entering the period in our life when this was going to be possible,...

If you follow the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you will probably recognize her quote: “We recognize that the power of appreciating art and of producing to some extent an interpretation of what one sees is as universal as intelligence, imagination, nay, speech.” (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series)Charlotte Mason (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series) Art (Artist Study or Picture Study, as we tend to call it) is undeniably a source of joy and enjoyment. ...
