Have you been following us on our YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts? We have just released our most recent video. This tutorial is on how to create a paper sloyd scissor case. Now-a-days, we have commercialized scissor cases, but back in Charlotte Mason's day, children were perhaps responsible for creating their own pencil cases and scissor cases to take to school. This project is a charming way for children to create their own small scissor case, and also to take some responsibility for keeping their scissors protected. It can also be a lesson in being safe...

Mental health was never a big concern for me until the pandemic hit. Along with the lockdowns came the suspending of Homeschool Co-ops, friends and family isolating, sports and club closures, even parks and public libraries were off limits! I suddenly found myself at home with my two children who were used to a variety of activities every day - and the idea of an indefinite lockdown was not going over well. It wasn't until I discovered how to use creativity as a wellness practice in the homeschool that we began to see a way past the...

Does your family enjoy crafting? We sure do! In our latest video, we will show you how to create a paper sloyd pinwheel.

Our YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts with Joanna Cinnamon is growing! Today we are excited to present the third video in our paper sloyd series, taken from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This video will teach your young students how to create a paper sloyd picture frame. I think you are really going to enjoy this project - it's the cutest so far (and I'm sure that has nothing to do with the adorable picture that we put inside!) Many years ago, along with some wonderful co-workers, I helped to organize a fund-raiser....

When my children were still toddlers and preschoolers, I began to consider homeschooling as an option. I watched and studied homeschoolers and their lifestyles, hoping to get some insight. I witnessed many successful families that I respected and admired. There were other families that did not exactly inspire me. The families who had beautiful results, all seemed to have similar habits. These are the top 10 habits from super successful homeschoolers that I have observed, in no particular order. What is a Super Successful Homeschooler? But first of all, what is a super successful homeschooler? What...

Any homeschooler who follows the Charlotte Mason philosophy will recognize the word sloyd. Miss Mason incorporated several forms of sloyd throughout her broad curriculum. But, I'll be honest, even after homeschooling for several years, I still found myself asking "What is sloyd - and why is it a valuable tool in home education?" A deeper dive was necessary to clear this up for me once and for all. I knew that sloyd was a system of education focused on manual training in certain types of handicraft, using such things as paper, cardboard, wood, and metals. But what was...
