Scene from baby and we class

 

 

 

 

Here this mom and her son are making a matching game . He is also being introduced to a scissors.

The  ability to use a scissor is a skill that is needed for kindergarten . It is a pre-writing skill because it helps to strengthen the muscles in the fingers  ,it is also eye hand coordination and the child is learning to focus. You are building a brain - remember that the section of the brain that controls movement and coordination of it is being developed. When you toddler turns 2 she  should be given a scissor. You should use hard stock paper ,cut it into strips this makes it  easier for you  toddler to cut. This will take a few months before all the wires connect from the brain to the fingers.  Children need time to practice their  new skill, don't  rush the child.
