Homeschool

16 Jan

Have you been following along with us on our paper sloyd adventure? What began as overwhelming and intimidating has become something that we really enjoy. We've learned new skills and habits, and we've made many interesting objects. I think my favorite part is that I have found my children remaking the models on their own time, for their own purposes - and they were made with precision and accuracy, the result being something useful and beautiful. It truly made me proud! Today we will be making another paper sloyd picture frame. This will be...

Years ago, when our family was just considering homeschooling, I was fascinated, reading about Charlotte Mason and her philosophy of education. I knew there was a vast array of learning to be done, and we would have to start homeschooling without a full understanding of her educational methods. So we began imperfectly, yet committed to ongoing learning. Still today, I am constantly working at gaining a deeper sense of understanding of Miss Mason's philosophy and methods. I recently found an article from the magazine L'Umile Pianta (a magazine published by ex-students from Charlotte Mason's House of...

Are you in dire need of a paper sloyd wall pocket? No? Neither are we. But it is the next project in our paper sloyd series, and so we are tackling it today! When learning sloyd, you will find that each subsequent model builds on the skills of the one before, so you don't want to skip a model just because you don't have a use for it. Our paper sloyd wall pocket is Project #11 from the second year, from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. You may...

You're going to love our next paper sloyd project! Project #10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich is a folding card case. It's fairly simple and quick to make, so please join us as we make it together! You will find the video further down this post. We talked previously about how sloyd is not all about having a practical purpose, in our post, What is Sloyd? And Why is it a Valuable Tool in Home Education? Incorporating sloyd into our children's home education is...

Oh dear. It seems like we are once again in the position of creating something that we will probably never need. I mean I've been alive for 50 years and I have never had the need for a paper sloyd comb holder. How about you? However, I’ve learned that each paper or cardboard sloyd project teaches us something new so we are going to create this paper sloyd comb holder and maybe we will find some other use for it! Materials Needed: The materials that you will need for this project are simple. If you’ve been doing sloyd with...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd handkerchief box, such as would have been used in the early 1900s. This is project #7 from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This is a cute little box with an attached lid that would probably hold 1-2 handkerchiefs. In this century, since we now consider handkerchiefs unsanitary, we would probably use this box for Kleenex or a small collection of some sort. We found this model to be a little more difficult because the instructions were not as clear...
