The human hand and our ability to create both
the things we need and things we dream, are gifts unique to man.
Our culture and heritage are passed along, in great part, through
the things we make. The Enki crafts and handwork curriculum offers
many projects, for use in both Homeschool and Classroom programs,
geared to helping the child experience
the world through his hands, and develop the skills to create his
dreams.
The cyclic activity of creating is also part
of building a “class or family culture.” We encourage
each group to choose certain seasonal crafts that will be done
every year, affirming the cyclic processes of nature and our appreciation
of them. To make it possible for each family
member to participate at his own level, and so that a given class
can grow with the activities,
several versions of the same basic craft are included in different
books, each at an ever increasing level of difficulty. If
you are considering purchasing several books at once, please check
the Grade Level Packages,
as you receive a significant savings by purchasing a complete set.
