(Friend "S" demonstrates expert scissor skills!)
With the help of a little smiley face on our thumbs, we practiced holding scissors the right way and keeping our thumbs up! Sometimes preschoolers will turn their hands around when cutting and try to cut upside down, which isn't the safest or the most coordinated way to use scissors.
One of our favorite things to cut was the play-doh roll!
We also gave "Tree Man" a hair cut. We talked about how school friends do not use scissors to cut their own hair, but we can cut work from the Art Area. "Tree Man" came from the tube box in the Art Area, so we could give his hair a trim.
Friend "S" really enjoyed cutting the straw because the pieces would bounce away with every snip! Friend "K" used her little straw pieces to poke into her play-doh once she had cut them all.
No matter how you look at it, practicing with scissors is tons of fun!
