Sloyd Resources

Videos

Since sloyd is a subject that is completely new to many homeschooling parents, it can be intimidating to try. These videos are intended to teach parents new skills and to offer them additional instruction on how to assemble models. We hope these videos will help parents lead their children through our recommended sloyd resources with joy and confidence.
