Using scissors builds fine motor muscles that will be used for other tasks such as handwriting.
Scissor skills boost two-handed coordination.
When your student finishes a cutting page, he will develop confidence that he can complete a task.
You can also use this fine motor activity to help your student learn to think of others. Have your student glue her finished project to a piece of construction paper and give it to a friend or family member.
