This next paper sloyd model, is perhaps the most difficult, yet most useful that we have made so far. Today we are making a paper sloyd calendar. It is Project #9 from the third year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We created this model in two parts - first the calendar leaves, and secondly the calendar back. The leaves will eventually be attached to the back, creating a very cute, yet functional desktop calendar. Working with my children, we initially found this project quite challenging. First, was...

Today we are creating a paper sloyd measure, or as we may call it, a ruler. This is project number eight from the third year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Now my understanding of sloyd - and handicrafts in general - is that they are meant to be useful. Yet, honestly, we have not had great use for the projects in this book. The obvious reason is that the book was published in 1905, and school-aged children clearly had different needs than those in our current time. But looking deeper,...

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...

Each of our paper sloyd projects present us with a new challenge. This is wonderful because when we are challenged, we know that we are learning something new. It's not to make us frustrated or aggravated, it's an opportunity to become better than we were before, which is a lesson onto itself! As you will see, this paper sloyd pin cube was an exercise in accuracy and precision. This is the 6th model from the 3rd year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. Once again, it probably doesn't have great use for us...

This week’s paper sloyd hexagonal tray project presented a bit of a challenge. It is the 5th model from the 3rd year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Edna Anne Rich. The 3rd year started easily enough but has quickly escalated, introducing us to some new tools and skills. Learning these new skills is exciting and rewarding, but it does take some time and occasionally some frustration to work through. The third year of paper sloyd has introduced the use of a compass. We have found that a compass can possibly be challenging for...

If you were waiting for the third year of paper sloyd to get a little more difficult, it just did! Our next paper sloyd project is the 4th model in the 3rd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This model, a paper sloyd postal-card holder, gave us a struggle! We found the directions unclear and confusing. The good new is, we figured it out and we are sharing it with you, so you can enjoy the process without undue struggle. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades...
