Handling Scissors
When it’s time to hand the scissors across the craft table to your child it’s important to remember several safety tips.
To start, give your child kid-size, blunt-tip scissors that open and close easily. Place his thumb through the round top hole, his index finger under the bottom oval hole, and his middle and ring fingers through that bottom hole. Have him pretend the blades are an alligator’s mouth biting the paper as they open and shut — and tell him to keep his other fingers out of the way.
