Scissors skills are important for every little artist to learn. This skill opens the door for limitless crafting possibilities. We use scissors in over half of our one thousand projects. Depending on the age of our little artist we ma pre-cut out the piece and let them assemble. Others we allow to use safety scissors. Also, kids are thoroughly supervised. If you have worked with little ones for more than a minute they love to try and cut their own hair.
If your little artist is very new to scissor skills or just have a child that likes to play beauty shop we recommend these. They are plastic-bladed scissors that hopefully won’t cut hair.
When you are trying to teach how to properly hold and use scissors you might want to try these. The animal mouth helps show the artist which way is up. Plus the kids like to ‘feed the animal.’
Now that we have talked about the tools we are going to be using let’s talk projects. We have a few collections of scissor skills worksheets. Some seasonal, animal, and some just for fun. As always we are working on new pages and worksheets all the time. Try using the search bar or messaging us on Facebook and we will be happy to help.
We had a grandmother reach out to us about how much her granddaughter loved trolls. She was learning to refine her small motor skills on crafts and was wondering if we could make something just for her. We hope you like them as much as she did.
