✂️ Scissor skills start before the scissors! ✂️

If your child struggles with cutting, start with tongs or other fine motor activities first. This builds the hand strength and coordination they need. 💪🏼✨

Pro tip: Place a sticker on their thumb so they remember to keep it on top while cutting. 👍🏼

Learning new skills takes time, repetition, and a patient guide (that’s you! 😉). 

Try using short, sturdy pieces of cardboard to help little hands get the hang of it.

💌 Send this to a fellow parent or educator 💃🏻
