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'm not lying when I said that my kids and I were a little nervous of the Supplementary Models in the back of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. As we set out to make the paper sloyd triangular candy box, we were immediately shocked to find that this model - as well as many other models in this section - had absolutely no instructions! Were we supposed to be so prepared by doing the models in the previous parts of the book, that this would be so simple as to no need...

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...

Today, we are going to be making a paper sloyd sliding pencil box.  If you've been following along with us as we work through the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich, you'll know that we are in the third grade, and this is the 15th model.   This project was a bit of a break from our increasingly difficult ones from the past few weeks.  There was minimal cutting and measuring, and it came together quickly.  Our favorite part?  It's totally useful!  It's important to us that our craft projects are useful - and we plan on using this paper...

When my daughter and I initially sat down to do Project #13 from the 3rd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades, I may have inwardly groaned. Even my daughter, astutely expressed what I was thinking: "Is a blotting pad something we would ever use?" By this time, we all know that our arts and crafts should have some use, and when using a book published in 1905, you are bound to come across some projects that have no practical application to our world today. We giggled a little together at the thought of...
