Home Workbooks: Scissors Skills

This is such a great book so many teaching activities and at a very reasonable price. My Great Granddaughter and I can't wait to start using it next time I visit.

I got this for my 4 year old, who is a lefty AND has some trouble with fine motor skills. This book was extremely helpful to him, as a kid who could not cut AT ALL. In preschool, as the other kids were slowly learning to cut, he could only make small snips, so he was pretty far behind the other kids. He also gets discouraged very easily; as in, he would cry at the first mistake. This book starts so basic, and slowly ramps up the difficulty, so he was able to slowly learn to cut without getting frustrated. The book begins as straight lines down a page, then some curves, then zigzags, and then slowly branches out into other simple shapes, swirls and paths. My son liked looking forward to the next page to see what challenge he would face, since each page is a little harder than the last. Near the end, there are 2 cut and paste activities. We do a page almost every night, and we are down to the final 6 pages. His cutting has improved dramatically, and this is the only book we've been using. He can now continually cut down the page, stopping to switch directions and curving along swirls. It comes with 2 sheets of gold star stickers, and a chart in the back. My son enjoyed adding a sticker each night that he was done with his "homework". There are more stickers than needed for this book, so we will keep using them as we graduate to a more difficult scissor skill book. This book was so helpful to us, but my son was very, very far behind the other kids his age. If your child can cut at all, this book will probably be too easy. However, if this is your child's first introduction to cutting, or they are behind, this is perfect.

Great practice! The book is filled with activities and includes stickers too

Easy to use for children. I will order more to each child can have one. Various scissor practice skills included. It's very basic -no frills. This should keep children focused. One page a day should be sufficient for beginners.

I've bought this alot. Perfect for kids practice

My 4 year old loved doing these and then he would Glue them on a separate paper. He could do these for hours if I let him.

Perfect

This is a book that helps your child cut in the lines, on the lines and shapes. I thought it had toddler scissors that came with it but it did not. It's a cute idea but should have scissors included in my personal opinion. It Was cheap so I cannot complain to much however a set would have been a better gift.

My boy loves using scissors and has enjoyed cutting along the various lines ans shapes in the book. He is beginning to really take caretofollow the lines and turn the paper.

Bueno para fortalecer músculos de la mano , no trae tantos ejercicios diferentes

Toddler fun

This book motivated my son to practice his cutting. He got this gift from Santa Claus at Christmas. He has done many of the pages already. The activities are simple for a beginner and he was able to them by himself after a while (I showed him how at first).

Great for learning how to cut along the lines and colouring. Also seeing and using alphabet and numbers. Great for 3 years old
