2. Hair Cutting Puppets
If you cannot print the page out, draw your own puppet with long hair to cut out! You can also tape your puppet to a pencil or stick instead of a popsicle stick.

9. Collage
This is a fun way to practice scissor skills. Find some old magazines, calendars, fliers, catalogs...and cut out different pictures to create a collage. Maybe think of a theme such as "favorite foods", "animals", "most colorful". Have your child cut around the pictures as far away or as close as they want and feel most comfortable with.
Helpful Hints:
Rip out the page and/or cut the paper into a smaller size so the paper is easier for your child to move around when cutting out their picture
The larger the picture the easier to cut.
You can draw a dark line around the chosen picture to give a boundary to stay on
Make a challenge to fill up a whole paper with pictures (the larger the paper the bigger the challenge)
