Today, as part of our paper sloyd adventures, we are going to be learning how to create another paper sloyd silk winder. This project is the fifth supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Last week, we made our first silk winder, project #4, which was reminiscent of our thread winders from the second year. While there are no suggestions regarding the purpose of the supplementary paper sloyd models in the back of this book, my children and I decided for us, they are for additional practice. It seems...

As we near the end of our paper sloyd journey, and enter our third year of paper sloyd, I feel the urge to sit back in my chair, cradling my cup of lukewarm coffee, and smile. We did it! We tackled this mountain and we overcame it! I think back to our first year of homeschooling, not daring to take on this confusing and inexplicably complicated subject with the weird name. And although I trusted Charlotte Mason and her principles, I simply couldn't understand the purpose behind it. We put it off and put it...

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...
