There are many things to know about homeschooling, but one of my favorite things is that it allows us to provide our children with a more personalized education. Having the ability to accommodate our children's different learning styles and interests while homeschooling can unlock creativity and innovation. These traits are extremely important because they are essential skills for success in today's rapidly changing world. Creativity is the ability to generate new ideas and concepts, while innovation is the ability to turn those ideas into reality and bring about positive change. Today's businesses and organizations are constantly looking for...

Our project today is a decorative paper sloyd whisk-broom holder. It is intended to hang on the wall, holding your whisk-broom. It is the 7th model from the 3rd year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. The project is divided into two parts, the back of the holder and the pocket. Make sure you have enough paper for both! We found that a thick piece of 12" x 12" scrapbook paper was the perfect size. If you don't have a 12" x 12" piece, you could always use...

I am always excited to learn a new skill. Today, as we create our next paper sloyd creation, a pyramidal catch-all, our main tool is going to be a compass, instead of the ruler. This project (#2 from Year 3) introduces to us a new way to create a shape. In our video, you are going to see our first time, learning to manage and manipulate a compass. It's a little awkward for a child, it's another skill that we will need to practice. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich A compass An Exacto...

How are we starting the third year of paper sloyd lessons already?! We have created so many interesting models so far. I'm excited to see what we have in store for us in this next section. Today, we will be starting with a paper sloyd pocket-comb case. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich A cutting mat An Exacto knife A pencil A ruler Glue Good quality paper, at least 3" x 5½" (this is a good time to use scraps from other projects) Happy Handicrafts Video: How to Create a Paper Sloyd Pocket-Comb Case https://youtu.be/JcUqXW8QUUk This was a fairly simple...

Not to be dramatic, but I feel somewhat triumphant, as we have just completed our second year of paper sloyd. As a homeschooler, I had read about the importance of sloyd, but it was this mysterious mountain that I was too overwhelmed to climb. I didn't have a solid understanding of what sloyd really was, I didn't understand the purpose of it, and I couldn't imagine adding another thing into our already busy schedules. Last year, I decided to buckle down and face my fear. I dug deep, learning all about this subject. The more I learned,...

Today we will be making the next project in our paper sloyd series, which is a cute little ribbon box. This is project #13 from the 2nd year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. As we work our way through this book, you will notice that each project is designed to teach newer and more complex skills, and this project is no exception. There are a lot of measurements in this project and the extensive cutting with the Exacto knife required concentration and focus. Our efforts were rewarded, though, as...
