Why Should Children Practice Cutting with Scissors?

Practice with using scissors is an important fine motor skill for children.

When children are using scissors to cut, they must use muscles in their hands to open and close the scissors.

This repeated action helps children build these muscles and develop their fine motor skills.

Children who are cutting are also working on hand-eye coordination.

Working on this skill is definitely a good use of time for young children!
