The Importance of Holding Scissors Correctly for Children

Children learn best when they are constantly engaged and interacting with their surroundings. 

One way to help children interact with their environment is to provide them with tools that encourage exploration and facilitate learning. One such tool is a pair of scissors.

The Importance of Holding Scissors Correctly for Children

It is very important for children to learn how to hold scissors correctly. 

This skill is not only important for their future success in cutting and crafting, but also for their safety. 

Here are reasons why holding scissors correctly is so important for children.

Properly holding scissors helps children to cut more accurately.

Incorrectly holding scissors can lead to scrapes and cuts on the hands and fingers.

Holding scissors correctly helps to develop the muscles in the hand and forearm, which can aid in writing and other fine motor skills.

Improperly holding scissors can cause fatigue and discomfort in the hand after extended use.

Most importantly, properly holding scissors helps to prevent accidents!

So, let your child practice cutting with scissors. Step by step.
