Scissor Skills: Cutting Practice for Ages 3-5 - Snipping, Straight Lines, Curves and Shapes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798175473897)

From one snip to a whole shape.

Cutting is learned in a set order: one snip first, then cutting forward in a straight line, then curves, and last of all corners - where the blades have to stop while the paper turns.

Forty pages in that order. Every cut has two black edges to stay inside and a grey line down the middle to aim for, and the band gets narrower as your child gets steadier.

What is inside

• 40 cutting pages, every one different - no filler, no repeats
• Printed on one side only, so the page can be torn out and cut with nothing lost from the back
• Four sections in developmental order: snipping, straight cuts, curves, then corners and shapes
• A grown-up note on every page: what it builds, and what to do if it is hard
• How to hold the scissors, what the other hand should be doing, and what to do if your child is left-handed
• A ready check at the front, so you start in the right place
• A progress chart at the back
