I'm not lying when I said that my kids and I were a little nervous of the Supplementary Models in the back of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. As we set out to make the paper sloyd triangular candy box, we were immediately shocked to find that this model - as well as many other models in this section - had absolutely no instructions! Were we supposed to be so prepared by doing the models in the previous parts of the book, that this would be so simple as to no need...

Our project this week is a paper sloyd round button box. I can picture this cute little box being used in days gone by for tiny buttons or other sewing notions. This is the second supplementary model at the end of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. It reminded us of the 16th model from the 3rd year, the match holder, only this model is a little more complicated, with a lid. Yay! for instructions! As we mentioned in our previous post, it appears that several of these Supplementary Models do not...

I've been gone from the online world for a while. We've had some heavy things happen in our family that required me to step back for a few months, for the sake of peace and mental health. I don't know that I can say that time is healing, but I can say that the time off has recommitted us to our purpose of teaching other homeschool families how important it is to bring joy into your home, in the form of creativity and art - even if it's just making a paper sloyd quarterfoil, like we are doing...

We have come to the last model of the third year in the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades and this one was a doozy! This project was the 18th model of the third year, and it was definitively one of the more difficult models that we have done. In fact, I would recommend breaking the project up into a couple of sessions for the younger years. It is created in three separate parts, which are then assembled at the end. The project involves a lot of very precise measuring and cutting, amounting to a fair...

After a stressful week, it was nice to sit down with my daughter to make this paper sloyd letter holder. Art truly washes away the stresses and cares of everyday life. Creativity brings joy, and we found ourselves laughing at our challenges and mistakes. This was Project 17 from the third year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This wasn't an easy model to create, but our struggles were worth it, because the final result is genuinely lovely and functional. Although the design of this model is pretty, it really...

Anyone need a paper sloyd match holder? We didn't know we needed one until we made Project number 16 from the third year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades and saw how cute it was! This model introduced a new technique to us. It was a little meticulous in the measuring and cutting, but the instructions were not difficult to understand. In fact, this project is one in which you will see all of the skills that you have been working on throughout your paper sloyd education come together. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by...
