Kumon Let's Cut Paper
Learning to safely use a pair of scissors seems to universally bring extraordinary joy to young children. In Kumon's two-book Let's Cut Paper series, your child will learn how to hold and control scissors and proceed from the simple one-stroke cuts of a dog's whiskers to the more complicated curved humps on a camel's back and the spiral of a chameleon's tail.
Many pages offer helpful tips for the parents, and all are sturdy enough to manage but not so thick as to be difficult to cut.
