Cutting And Sticking Activities For Kids : Easter Scissor Skills Colouring Book For Children Ages 4-6

FUN EASTER ACTIVITY BOOK THAT MIGHT JUST ENTICE YOUR CHILD AWAY FROM THAT SCREEN!

WHO IS IT FOR?

It's for children aged 4-6 who need to increase their hand strength and become more confident with cutting out.

WHO IS IT NOT FOR?

It's not for children who have never picked up a pair of scissors before or for children who are at the beginning of developing their scissor skills.

WHAT'S THE AIM OF THIS BOOK?

This book will enable your child to make an end product (Easter banner/bunting), but the end product is not the goal. The goal is to improve your child's fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination whilst, at the same time, enjoying the fun of being creative!

WHAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WILL I NEED?

You will need a pair of child-friendly scissors, glue and pencils/felt-tips to colour-in with. The book contains everything else your child needs to make a fun Easter banner/bunting. You can, of course, use any appropriate, additional materials if you so wish, but it's not necessary if you don't have them.

WHAT WILL I NEED TO DO?

This book is great for you because, once you have set your child up with the above resources, all that's left for you to do is to cut out a few pages (so that they're not having to manipulate the book as well as scissors) then let them get on with it.

WHAT IF MY CHILD DOES IT WRONG?

Mistakes are great! That's how children learn! And getting stuff wrong and carrying on, is all good practice for life!

WHAT IF I WANT TO JOIN IN?

If you and your child enjoy working together, that's brilliant! I'm sure you will love this book too!

WHAT'S INSIDE?

Inside you will find:

• An introduction to the book that explains to parents and carers how it could be used.
• 2 Practice pages to allow your child to warm up their scissor skills.
• 20 pages of Easter pictures to colour in and cut out (each page has 3 images).
• The images can either be cut out using their own black outline or the guided outline around each image, depending on how developed your child's cutting skills are and how adventurous they feel.
• 20 pages that your child can cut up to make a banner/bunting to stick their cut out and coloured-in Easter pictures on.
• Each page contains enough space around each Easter picture to give your child room to manoeuvre their scissors.

WHAT'S LEFT TO SAY?

This is one of many fabulous books that will help your child master their scissor skills but ultimately only you can foster and encourage the confidence within your child that enables them to just have a go and delight in whatever they create. The secret to learning, isn't about getting everything right. The secret to learning is enjoying the process!
