Scissor Skills

Cutting is learned in a fixed order, and this pack follows it. One snip across a narrow strip. Then a strip cut all the way through. Then lines - straight, zigzag, wavy - with a picture waiting at the end of each. Then a turn: a spiral that becomes a snake to hang up, and shapes to cut right round. After that the scissors start making things: give four friends a haircut, cut a picture into strips and put it back together, a crown to wear, a paper chain for the window and finger puppets for a show. Every cutting line is thick and dashed so it stays visible under small scissors. Then Snip a snowstorm: cut scrap paper into confetti and glue it into the jar on the page. Draw a pair of scissors and a glue bottle in four easy steps, join the dots to find a T-shirt, finish the other half of a glue bottle, spot the difference, sort food from toys and find the way through three mazes.
