Product Description

Product Description

Kids love to cut with scissors--as you can see by the trail of scraps often left in their wake! This creative and practical activity pad gives an engaging, creative direction to scissor work, meaning more concentration and less mess. Organized from simple to more complex, 20 different paper cutting projects (with complete supplies included right in the pages of the book) practice slightly different skills and techniques, and produce 20 unique crafts, games, and activities to offer kids a creative focus and a sense of accomplishment. Plastic safety scissors are included, which naturally encourage proper form and are safe for preschoolers--but any pair of scissors can be used to complete the paper-cutting projects. This product is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits, and that forests are protected for future generations. Please note that FSC certification applies to new inventory only (FSC C156584)

    This adorable and super fun activity book with the child safety scissors really improved my daughter’s confidence with scissors overall. It also helped her to gain more control over her cuts by improving her hand/eye coordination which I love. The pages are brightly colored and the activities kept her interested and engaged and the cutout activities became more challenging so it never became too easy or made her feel bored. This activity book had her practicing cutting along directional lines and it has increased her awareness of staying inside the lines when she is coloring in coloring books too which is another plus. This activity book is fun and engaging and is a great educational gift for those learning to use scissors.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Safe & Fun Way To Teach Scissor Skills!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this to help my five year old daughter learn how to use scissors. I’ve always been apprehensive about letting her use scissors because of the risks (helicopter parent here). So when I happened to come across this when I was aimlessly searching through educational stuff for kids, I jumped on the purchase!

    These scissors only cut the paper in the book. They will not cut skin, hair or clothing. Which is good to know when you have kids who have a new found skill and get carried away with it! The scissors cut fairly well, unless the child is holding them slightly to an angle, then it more or less rips the paper rather than cutting. It’s slightly frustrating when you’re trying to teach a child to cut, because they obviously don’t have the best coordination right off the bat. So even 6 pages in, we still had issues with her ripping rather than seamlessly cutting the paper. Obviously with actual scissors, if you’re not holding them completely perpendicular, it will still cut the paper, so I guess it’s just what you get with practice scissors.

    My child really enjoys this activity book. At least once every other day she will ask to do something cutting. I try to limit her to two sheets per session because I’d like to make this booklet last. I do appreciate that the booklet begins with easy cutting tasks and then as you progress through the booklet, they get more difficult. Melissa & Doug products are always pretty well thought out and effective, so I’m not surprised with how nice this purchase turned out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My two year old LOVES it
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Size: She is a tiny two year old and although the scissors are slightly big I think it's fine and she will grow into it. We work on scissor skills daily because she thinks it's a blast. She doesn't care too much to cut on the lines and follow the book just yet so we are mostly just using the scissors and cutting magazines.

    Sharpness: The scissors will not cut skin (or would be very hard to). You literally have to hold it perfectly perpendicular to the paper to get it to cut. Great product. Great for toddlers with supervision!

    Workbook: The workbook is great! starts with basic lines and then moves into shapes. I would say the workbook will be used more when she turns 3.

    Quality: Overall impressive with the quality and value. Great gift to give to someone as well.

    My son loved doing this activity in the car on a vacation road trip. I put a little trashcan in front of him and all the scraps went right in there while he was doing the activity. Before We headed home We went to target and I grabbed him a pad of paper and some glue sticks and he reassembled all of the cut outs like a puzzle into a new book to extend the activity on the way back.

    My daughter showed interest in cutting up paper just before she turned 5. Giving her this super fun activity book and some child safety sizors improved her confidence in her own abilities, as well as helped her to gain more control over her cuts by improving her hand/eye coordination. The brightly colored pages and activities kept her interest and the cutout activities progressively become more challenging so it never becomes monotonous or too easy. Giving her this fun activity book to practice using sizors and cutting along directional lines has increased her awareness of staying inside the lines when she is coloring in other activity books! 5 stars! Amazing idea and very well executed! Fun and educational gift for those learning to use sizors and adults who are helping them will enjoy it as well! Thanks!

    Definitivamente lo recomiendo para empezar a aprender cortar con las tijeras.
    Primero lo probé yo intentando cortarme los dedos para asegurarme que si mi bebé va pescar sus deditos no le va a pasar nada.
    Las tijeras son absolutamente seguras para los peques.
    Son bastante buenos para cortar las hojas del papel estándar. El cartón ya no.
    El libro tiene la variedad diferente de imagines de formas diferentes lo que ayuda a los chiquitos a aprender cómo se hace y mejorar sus habilidades.

    Love this book. My daughter received it for Christmas a couple years ago and really enjoyed cutting the shapes out. I was surprised when she started Kindergarten but how much better she was at using scissors (and even pens which I think may have also stemmed from the dexterity she learned from using scissors) than the other children. I have now purchased this book for my godson for Christmas and am excited for him to use it. The scissors are safe with no metal blade (all plastic, not sharp). My daughter still has them and actually just used them today to cut through cardstock. This book is a simple concept that really teaches valuable skills.
