Scissor Time

Yes I am guilty of not letting my children cut enough. It drives me crazy all the itty bitty pieces of paper everywhere...and there was my son who decided to cut open a gingerbread house kit one morning when he got up ridiculously early....he was smart, too. He woke his sister up and then they went to the VERY front of the house where they proceeded to eat all the candy....He lost scissors for a yr I think. Anyway, I found the coolest books from Kumon. They get to cut carefully on lines to create something. There is minimal mess, a fun project and they're learning! YAY! I wish I had known about this before. Although, I think 2 is a little young to place scissors in a child's hands. After they cut the first few they glued them on to some papers...that qualifies as art or a project/craft right? We plan to label each one and maybe make a story about 1 of them, too.
