Mental health was never a big concern for me until the pandemic hit. Along with the lockdowns came the suspending of Homeschool Co-ops, friends and family isolating, sports and club closures, even parks and public libraries were off limits! I suddenly found myself at home with my two children who were used to a variety of activities every day - and the idea of an indefinite lockdown was not going over well. It wasn't until I discovered how to use creativity as a wellness practice in the homeschool that we began to see a way past the...

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....

Any homeschooler who follows the Charlotte Mason philosophy will recognize the word sloyd. Miss Mason incorporated several forms of sloyd throughout her broad curriculum. But, I'll be honest, even after homeschooling for several years, I still found myself asking "What is sloyd - and why is it a valuable tool in home education?" 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...
