2019 Reprint of 1905 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "What is Paper Sloyd? The preface to Paper Sloyd: A Handbook for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich defines Sloyd as "tool work so arranged and employed as to stimulate and promote vigorous, intelligent self-activity for a purpose, which the worker recognizes as good."
"Sloyd, which means "skilled labor" in Swedish, was originally a system of manual training focusing on woodworking and its associated tools. In the case of paper sloyd, the focus is on creating useful objects with paper, and the tools are things the homeschool handy-mom is likely to have on hand -- pencils, rulers, scissors, glue, string, compasses, and hole punches."--DIY Homeschooler. Rich's work has become a classic, especially within the world of homeschooling and do-it-yourself. Our edition is a remastered facsimile of the original edition, including an enhancement of the original photos and illustrations.
