Why Work on Cutting Skills?
Developing cutting skills is an important milestone for our students. Not only does it prepare our students for more complex tasks later on, but it also offers a wide range of benefits. When our students work with scissor, they are working on improving their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and finger dexterity.
These skills are essential for everyday tasks like writing, drawing and more. Cutting with scissors can also help students to build their confidence and independence as they learn to master a new skill.
