Seat work--tasks that can be done by a child at their seat in school without supervision--from early in the 20th century, for kindergarten and primary school children. Beginning with kindergarten, and directions on how to fold oblongs or squares after identifying various corners and edges, the tasks increase in complexity and dexterity required. From cutting simple paper strips to weave, to collage pictures assembled from silhouettes of houses, etc. in colored paper, these are 'quiet time' arts and crafts projects from a much quieter time.
