This article aims at understanding how propositions to insert handcraft into primary school which circulated internationally were appropriated in Rio de Janeiro from the end of the 19th century to the 1930s. The analysis of the sources is based on circulation and transference of knowledge, as well as on appropriation and objectification processes (Matasci, 2015; Valente, 2020). We identified that the three methods put into circulation by Brazilian travelers - Froebel’s, Boogaerts’s and Slodj - were not equally incorporated, referenced or reproduced in the Brazilian context. It was possible to conclude that for handcraft to be considered a powerful helper in geometry, a long objectification process, which took over four decades, was necessary.

Keywords : Froebel; Boogaerts; Slodj; Pedagogical Mission.
