Homeschool

Many people find the idea of paper sloyd crafting in their homeschool intimidating. Even as a "crafty" person, I initially found paper sloyd to be too complicated and overwhelming to navigate. Once I did some research, however, I was eventually able to wrap my brain around it all, and realized that it doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple supplies and some straightforward instructions, I am going to give you a practical guide to your first year of paper sloyd. It will show you how to easily incorporate paper sloyd into your homeschool curriculum....

Today we will continue our paper sloyd series, by creating a paper sloyd key tag. Creating paper sloyd models is something that I started with my children several months ago, and it has turned into something that we really, really enjoy. For YEARS I put it off, thinking it was so complicated, and really didn't seem to have a great purpose. We are now starting our second year of paper sloyd, and I have a very different opinion of it! The second year of paper sloyd contains more complex models, and instead of using paper and...

Years ago, when I decided to start homeschooling my children, I didn't have many friends or acquaintances who homeschooled. I couldn't pick the brains of other homeschooling moms, and I never had the opportunity to sit down with a cup of coffee to drill them with my endless list of questions. Despite this, we have somehow managed to navigate the elementary, and now pre-teen years of homeschooling with any massive regrets. Homeschooling has been an incredible blessing to our family. That being said, however, it hasn't always been easy. I've made many mistakes along the...

Several years ago, my children and I had the pleasure of participating in a local Charlotte Mason Co-op. One of the group's handicrafts for a term was to create a leather journal, doing the book binding ourselves.

It was this project that convinced me to tackle handicrafts of all kinds with confidence that with a little work and research, we can do anything! I was seriously so amazed at these young kids, able to create...

Homeschooling is not an easy task. If you are a working parent, it's even harder. Finding a balance that works for your family can be a challenge. I know - I'm there in the trenches with you! I've been homeschooling my children from the beginning and we are now entering the high school years. I've also been a full-time night shift nurse for almost 30 years. I was determined that my need to work was not going to stop me from homeschooling. Where there's a will, there's a way. Through the years,...
