This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

A few years ago I had published a short article in Woodwork magazine about Paper Sloyd, describing its usefulness, both as a precursor to woodworking and also in the development of skills required for algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I got a number of inquiries about where the book could be found, and to make it available, and as it was no longer covered by copyright protection, I scanned and copied its pages for distribution to interested teachers. Now Google Books has made that book available for free download. Paper Sloyd, by Ednah Anne Rich, 1905.
