Have you been following along on our adventures? We've been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We've even created a YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts, to record our progress, and we hope you can come and create with us! This week, we are working Project Number 7, which is how to create a paper sloyd bookmark or book corner. It's a fairly simple project, and one even the younger kids can enjoy. Paper sloyd isn't just simple origami. It has a much deeper purpose, which we delve into in...

Have you been following us on our YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts? We have just released our most recent video. This tutorial is on how to create a paper sloyd scissor case. Now-a-days, we have commercialized scissor cases, but back in Charlotte Mason's day, children were perhaps responsible for creating their own pencil cases and scissor cases to take to school. This project is a charming way for children to create their own small scissor case, and also to take some responsibility for keeping their scissors protected. It can also be a lesson in being safe...

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...

Does your family enjoy crafting? We sure do! In our latest video, we will show you how to create a paper sloyd pinwheel. This is a great craft for kids of all ages and it teaches some important skills too. Sloyd is a type of manual training that was developed by Charlotte Mason. It has many benefits, which we discuss in a recent blog post, titled What is Sloyd? And Why is it a Valuable Tool in Home Education? If you've been following along in our video series, you'll know that we are...

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....
