Directions
Using a Sharpie marker, make simple lines on a wide strip of paper. Invite your child to cut carefully on the lines using a pair of child safety scissors. Help your child place his thumb and the correct finger in the scissor handles and open and close the blades. This is an important skill for strengthening fingers in preparation for learning to write.
