If you were waiting for the third year of paper sloyd to get a little more difficult, it just did! Our next paper sloyd project is the 4th model in the 3rd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This model, a paper sloyd postal-card holder, gave us a struggle! We found the directions unclear and confusing. The good new is, we figured it out and we are sharing it with you, so you can enjoy the process without undue struggle. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades...

Today's project is a paper sloyd conical flower holder. I imagine that this little project would be lovely in the spring when wild flowers are abundant here in Texas. Unfortunately, we are currently in the middle of winter, which features brown grass and dormant bushes. However, this is a quick and simple craft that is perfect for those cold, rainy days when it's not so pleasant to be outside. This is Project #3 from the 3rd year of paper sloyd, from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. It is a similar...

I am always excited to learn a new skill. Today, as we create our next paper sloyd creation, a pyramidal catch-all, our main tool is going to be a compass, instead of the ruler. This project (#2 from Year 3) introduces to us a new way to create a shape. In our video, you are going to see our first time, learning to manage and manipulate a compass. It's a little awkward for a child, it's another skill that we will need to practice. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich A compass An Exacto...

There's something special about giving a gift that you've made yourself. It shows that little extra effort, the extra thought, and extra time. As with any creation that you have made, it is giving a piece of yourself to another person, and being vulnerable to criticism. It doesn't always have to be a herculean effort to convey your feelings, though. Today, because Valentine's Day is around the corner, and because we have been doing so much paper sloyd, we are going to show you an extremely simple paper folding craft. We are going to...

Not to be dramatic, but I feel somewhat triumphant, as we have just completed our second year of paper sloyd. As a homeschooler, I had read about the importance of sloyd, but it was this mysterious mountain that I was too overwhelmed to climb. I didn't have a solid understanding of what sloyd really was, I didn't understand the purpose of it, and I couldn't imagine adding another thing into our already busy schedules. Last year, I decided to buckle down and face my fear. I dug deep, learning all about this subject. The more I learned,...
