Sloyd*
(Digital copy)
$ 24.00 USD
Develop craftsmanship, fine motor skills, and focused attention through Sloyd — a classic Charlotte Mason handcraft which trains the hands and mind. Students complete assigned models each term with an emphasis on quality and care, progressing through Rich's Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades and Everett Schwartz's Sloyd. Early levels (Intro–Level 3) build foundational paper-folding and cutting skills, moving from simple boxes and envelopes to more complex cones and cylinders. Middle levels (Levels 4–6) introduce cardboard construction, with students creating increasingly sophisticated 3-dimensional geometric shapes. Level 7 takes folding to a new level — students learn pleated surfaces, curved folding, and techniques that give them the tools to design their own original models and see the integration with architecture, math, design, and engineering. Videos and/or illustrations guide you through each model to make these courses easy to implement with your students. Students should begin at the Intro Level or Level 1 and continue in sequence. New-to-Sloyd students in Grades 5+ may begin at Level 1 and progress through levels at an accelerated pace.
The multi-authored Charlotte Mason Centenary Monograph series is designed to highlight and explore the continuing educational and leadership relevance of Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) through the collective contributions of the Armitt Museum and Library, the University of Cumbria, the Charlotte Mason Institute, and other scholars and practitioners worldwide.
