Toddler Scissor Lesson



This little one is always surprising me.  I originally gathered materials for Montessori at home for our oldest, but the value of this method is trickling down to our tots.  (I chuckle while posting this, as I see the 4 year old holding scissors towards her body)

I modeled cutting (away from the body, holding the paper at the opposite side, elbow by my side) and we had a lesson on carrying scissors.  The children may not use scissors while standing.

I sang this song, to the tune of "Open, Shut Them"

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little snip snip snip
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Cut the paper, snip snip snip
