Today we are going to be creating a paper sloyd trefoil calendar. This oddly-shaped calendar is the 11th supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. We are slowly working our way through this book, making and filming every project as we go so that we can share them with you. As you read and watch, you will see how each project presents us with new and different challenges. This project seemed to be missing several measurements and guides, so we made them up ourselves, and they seemed to work. If you are finding this...

We are nearing the end of our projects from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. We've been working on this for YEARS, and we've learned so much! Today's project is the 10th of the supplementary models in the back of the book, a paper sloyd penwiper. A penwiper? We had to laugh at this one. It may seem somewhat obvious what a penwiper is, but we went searching, just to be sure. We found out that it was an essential writing tool, used primarily in the 1800s, to wipe ink from a quill or pen...

With Saint Patrick's Day approaching, I wanted to brighten up the house with some fun decorations. I realized, however, that I had absolutely no Saint Patrick's day themed decor at all! So, together with my daughter, we set out to create a simple Saint Patrick's day wreath. We have a set of small doors leading into our homeschool, and we thought it would be the perfect way to add a splash of color to this space - so we actually made two! One for each door. This project is super simple. Most of the materials we...

Our project for today was a paper sloyd pentagon-shaped calendar. This was the 9th of the Supplementary Models from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Now, if it's not terribly obvious, these Supplementary Models are somewhat annoying. Despite having practically no instruction, we been able to figure them out. But we have now entered the "wild guess" space. With no images to guide us, and the significant fact that this book was originally published in 1905, we are left with very little idea of what we are supposed to be...

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...
