Up to a few months ago, my Chloe had never used a real scissors to cut anything before. She did use those craft scissors .. but not the real/sharp ones and because we are always busy at the store and can’t watch her like a hawk if she uses the scissors on her own, we didn’t want to take the chances of her losing her pinkie or a thumb. Yes, I admit we are slacker parents.
Two weeks into school, her teachers called for a meeting in regards to her lack of motor skills, in which we tried to explain that Chloe had no idea how to maneuver the scissors at all…. not because she is lack of motor skills .. but because we never let her use it before.
So here we are .. 3 months into school.. and she can use the scissors perfectly well.. and cut her snowman really well.. as you can see in the above picture.
Chloe’s snowman.
All done within a few mins. And she said this to me.. when i asked her to look up for a picture. “But mama, children need to be careful when they are using their scissors, I can’t look up now..! For soon ok..??” muahhahahahaha!!! how cute is that..?? and pretty smart as well eh.
