Cutting Projects

Today’s project came out of the desire to teach my little man basic cutting skills. Over the years, I have seen some scary cutting in Kindergarten. Though, I admit I have been reluctant teaching him this skill after he cut the tip of his finger off at daycare over a year ago.
 

My goal was to work on proper grip and correct direction. He was not quite ready to hold the paper and turn it. That will come with more practice.

 

I found some great paper projects at education.com.

You can filter the site by project and by age group.
 

Here is the project we did:

 

If you are looking for some more complex projects, we found some great playsets at Spoonful, which is sponsored by Disney. My husband and my little guy had fun with the Avengers playset that I cut out.
