Charlotte Mason Handicrafts

There are many lists of handicrafts for Charlotte Mason homeschoolers out there, but none like this one!

This handicraft list has resources to help you figure out how to actually do the handicraft! (Scroll down for a clickable table of contents).

The Charlotte Mason Handicraft list has over 80 different handicrafts to choose from. They are listed first in sections by the main material, category, or technique used, and then alphabetically under those sections.

There are a few handicrafts that are listed under more than one section because they seemed to fit equally well under both, but almost all of them are only listed once. 

There are several reasons I decided to put these Charlotte Mason handicrafts by category rather than alphabetically.

 First, it is easier to find something you want to work on. Instead of being overwhelmed by a long list of random handicrafts, you can search within a subject that is interesting to you. 

Secondly, if someone is interested in a handicraft using a material like yarn, they will likely be interested in other handicrafts that also use that same material. When you are ready to learn a new handicraft, you will be able to go to the same category that you previously enjoyed and pick a related handicraft to work on instead of just scrolling through a long list.

Just click on the highlighted handicrafts to be taken to a page with all the resources you need to start learning!
