Starting with Slöjd: DIY Dala Horses

Starting with Slöjd is a monthly program for early elementary students who want to start crafting! Whether it’s playing with wool, wire, paper, or more, this group will explore new tools, materials, and skills that prepare kids for a lifelong love of slöjd (handcraft). ASI designed these drop-off programs for students in grades K-2.

Join instructor Anna Ruhland to learn about the Dala Horse, a classic symbol of Sweden, through handcraft. Participants will sand, paint, and decorate their own wooden Dala horse, which makes a great keepsake and decoration.
