Welcome to the Handicrafts edition of
the Charlotte Mason blog carnival!
"The report and the Natural Science and Handicrafts taught by our ex-students during the past five years is most cheering and encouraging. Not one handicraft seems to have fallen through. There has not been time yet for our Leather-embossing, Repousse and Woodcarving to work their way, but Book-binding, Cardboard-Sloyd and Basket-making seem to have succeeded very well. With regard to sloyd work, the fact that it encourages children to invent and carry out models of their own speaks greatly in its favor. It is the inventive faculty in children we all wish to encourage and cultivate. The same may be said of Basket-making. Children soon begin to invent their own patterns, and if along with pretty designs we get careful and accurate work the educational value of these employments soon shows itself."

Along with the handicrafts CM mentioned in her books and mentioned above is sloyd and admittedly, I have no idea what it is, except that it has to do with paper and wood. I haven't had time to actually read the articles I googled that I'm about to share with you, so you can research it at your own pace :)
Free books on sloyd... whatever sloyd is ;) heheh.

These look great, Amy. I really hope to be more consistent in helping my kids stay on track with their woodworking this year! We need a dedicated space, and I hope to get it goin' in the next few weeks!
Thanks for putting this together!
Slöjd is just simply the swedish (and probably nordic) word for handicrafts. It is used both for textil- or soft- slöljd and for wood&metal- or hard- slöjd. It is required subject in nordic curricula usually for year 3-9 and often a possible elective in year 10-12. It usually have 60-90 minutes/week with one term soft-slöljd and one term hard-slöjd each school year.
In lower grades (pre-school trough second grade) most schools let the kids do crafts or "pyssel" (mostly paper crafts with scissors and glue) together with beginning art instruction (elementary pencil, crayon and brush technic)for "scrap booking" their studies, like a crafty variety of notebooking pages.
I guess nobody really thinks that slöjd is the most important subject in school, but on the other hand nobody thinks it should be taken away, since it is still regarded as mandantory to be able to mend your own cloths, build your own bird-house or rabbit-cage, sew or knit for your baby or at least for your grand-children ;)
