5 Cutting Activities for Learning to Use Scissors

We all fear hearing the snip snip of children using scissors. Was it their hair? My curtains? The beloved teddy bear’s head? Learning how to use scissors takes lots of practice, but it is essential. The skills used are the same ones as when completing daily activities and writing. But simply asking children to cut out worksheet after worksheet, instead of our home decor, could get quite boring. The activities are designed for beginner scissor users and for those who want a challenge. They are fun and engaging, yet they are quick and easy to set up (without damaging any more towels or important bills). Beneficial for all!
