| How to Teach Paper-Folding and Cutting by Norma MacLeod, 1892 | |||||||
| 'How
to Teach Paper-Folding and Cutting' by Norma MacLeod was
published by March Brothers in Lebanon, Ohio in 1892.
Although several chapters in the work are based on the
Froebelian occupation of Ausschneiden und Aufkleben,
there is no mention of this Froebelian origin in the
work. This work is mentioned in Gershon Legman's 'Bibliography of Paperfolding' which was published in 1952.
