Learning how to use scissors, builds up the little muscles in children’s hands with the open and close motion and plays an important role in developing the fine motor skills young children need in order to hold pencils, pens and crayons. With practice, this will help children in carrying out everyday independent tasks such as brushing teeth, eating with utensils and getting dressed (can I get an a-men). It’s easy to set up, just cut out and stick to the wall with tape or bluetak and you’re ready to roll! This is not only a great task for classrooms, send it home as a weekend task with your students to support your learning at home.

Given that our students are more stressed now than ever before, give them the opportunity to take a ‘brain break’ to get back on track.
