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...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd traditional envelope. This project is number 10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. If you've been following along with us, making the models as we go, you will remember that we made an envelope as our very first paper sloyd project. Unlike the first, much simpler model, this model uses many of the skills that we have since developed, such as measuring and cutting accurately with an Exacto knife. The result is a beautiful and useful creation. Materials Needed: ...

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...

It's a great day to do some sloyd! I hope you are enjoying our paper sloyd series as much as myself and my kids! Today we will be making a triangular catch-all. It is the third model, from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This was a fun project to do because it was a little different than our usual four-sided projects. Cardboard Sloyd Since our last project, I've been doing more research on cardboard sloyd. Cardboard sloyd is a natural progression in skill and materials from...
