It's so important to start any job with the right tools. And not all kids' scissors are created equal. Yes, they can all get the job done, but which one is the best pair for your child's needs? Let me guide you through the process to start off on the right foot.
Using scissors may seem like a relatively simple task at first glance, but the body, senses and mind are working overtime to make this complex activity happen! Let me show you ways to build hand strength, coordination, motor control and more to decrease frustration and promote success with scissors!
Learning to use scissors, like most tasks, is a step-by-step process. There is a natural progression. Let me walk you through each step, one at a time, mastering each and then moving on to the next until your child can cut out any complex shape with ease!
It is a proven fact that children learn best when they are playing. So, it is vital that we keep it fun!!!
Hi! My name is Joy, and I am the founder and chief creator at “In the Bag Kids’ Crafts”. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I have developed a passion for helping parents truly connect with their children in meaningful ways while also helping kids develop skills needed to be successful in school and life. It is truly my belief that the best way to do that is through play, and especially through the creative process (like doing crafts)! But life is busy!!! So, I have designed a unique approach that makes creating with your family actually do-able and enjoyable, not just one more stress-filled thing on the to-do list. We do this by keeping the crafts simple and making each from the SAME master list of supplies which fit into one bag. REALLY!
And now we are taking that same approach toward helping your child learn the sometimes challenging task of using scissors, in this easy step-by-step course. I promise to keep is simple, time efficient, and, most of all, FUN!!!
