Using Scissors / Cutting

Kumon Workbooks - Lena loves these simple cutting pages mostly because it's fun to cut things, but she does like the pictures and the little gadgets they make when completed.  She is currently using training scissors (the kind with the little tab that push the scissor back to the open position).
If you don't have any of these workbooks (my sister-in-law gave these to me) you can certainly make these sheets yourself.  Below are some links of home made cutting worksheets.

Another Option:  Cutting Paint Strips - Grab some sample paint strips from your local hardware store and allow you child to practice cutting on the lines!



She needed a lot of help with this one, it is still difficult for her to turn the paper to stay on the lines.







 


Lacing Beads
a gift from my sister-in-law for Lena at Christmas, she and Lucy love these.  They like to lace them, stack them or we even do patterns with them on occasion.
