Scissor Skills
Cutting is learned in a set order, and a child handed a page of shapes before they can make a single snip has been asked to start at the end.

What’s inside
- Four sections in developmental order: snipping, then straight cuts, then curves, then corners and shapes, where the blades have to stop while the paper turns.
- Every cut has two black edges to stay inside and a gray line down the middle to aim for, and the band gets narrower as your child gets steadier.
- A ready check at the front so you start in the right place, and a progress chart at the back.
- A grown-up note on every page: what the cut builds, and what to do if it is hard. Plus how to hold the scissors, what the other hand should be doing, and what to do if your child is left-handed.
- Every cutting page different, no filler, no repeats, and printed on one side only so a page can be torn out and cut with nothing lost from the back.
Who this is for
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. The whole book is that order, with a band to cut inside that narrows as the hand gets steadier.
