Show your child how to use a pair of
‘safe’ scissors.
Let them have a go at cutting a piece of
paper in the shape of a circle or square.
Give them some different types of paper
to cut e.g. shiny, tissue, coloured,
newspaper.
Make an abstract collage using the pieces.
As your child gets older allow them to
use more tools and materials safely
