Today we are making a paper sloyd doll house tabouret. This project is the 8th supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. These supplementary models are presumably at the back of the book for extra practice, and we've committed to doing them all. We want there to be a place where our fellow Charlotte Mason homeschoolers can go to find a solution to their paper sloyd questions. But - these models are a challenge! Not only do they lack instruction, but we have no idea as to what...

After the difficulty and frustration of our last model, the paper sloyd doll house chair, we were more than relieved to find that today's paper sloyd rosette bookmark was fairly simple and quick to make. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we made THREE! After all, what homeschooler doesn't need a bookmark or two? Or three? Today we are making the 7th Supplementary Model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. So, gather around, collect your supplies, and let's do some paper sloyd together! Our video below will walk...

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...

Here we are in mid-February, every homeschoolers' favorite month. It's cold outside, too wet and muddy to go outside and enjoy nature. Yet despite the dreary day, we found ourselves eagerly anticipating our handicraft class. The ability to be creative brings a bright spot to our afternoons, and today was no exception. Today we will be making a paper sloyd silk winder. This is the fifth supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. The supplementary models seem to be included as practice. They reflect the skills...

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...

We have reached a big goal today! Today we will be making the model featured on the front of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades - a paper sloyd twine holder. When we first began paper sloyd, I remember looking at that diagram and thinking how complicated it was. In fact, I even hesitated to start because of the complexity of that image. I couldn't imagine having the skills to complete it. Yet today, my children and I worked through it like we did all of the other projects. We often encounter a...
