How to Get Your Kids Started with Scissor Cutting Skills

Make sure your child is ready. Before beginning scissor cutting practice with your kids, make sure they are physically and cognitively ready. 

This includes having the necessary fine motor skills and coordination, as well as being able to understand and follow instructions. 

Choose the right scissors. It is important to choose a pair of scissors that is comfortable for your child to use and that will allow them to make clean cuts. 

Avoid using adult scissors or those with very sharp blades.

Start with simple shapes. Begin by having your child cut out simple shapes such as circles, squares, or triangles. 

As they become more confident and skilled, you can move on to more complex shapes and patterns. 

Make practice sheets with different shapes and sizes for your child to cut out.

Use different materials. Cutting paper is not the only way to practice scissor skills! 

Try cutting Play-Doh, fabric, string, or even food items like cooked spaghetti noodles. 

Make it fun!

The key to getting your kids engaged in scissor cutting practice is to make it fun! 

Add in some friendly competition by timing them or seeing how many objects they can cut out in a certain amount of time. 

You can also turn it into a game by hiding objects around the house for them to find and then cut out.
