Kids love to cut with scissors--as you can see by the trail of scraps often left in their wake! This creative and practical activity pad gives an engaging, creative direction to scissor work, meaning more concentration and less mess. Organized from simple to more complex, 20 different paper cutting projects (with complete supplies included right in the pages of the book) practice slightly different skills and techniques, and produce 20 unique crafts, games, and activities to offer kids a creative focus and a sense of accomplishment. Plastic safety scissors are included, which naturally encourage proper form and are safe for preschoolers--but any pair of scissors can be used to complete the paper-cutting projects. This product is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits, and that forests are protected for future generations. Please note that FSC certification applies to new inventory only (FSC C156584).

Abigail ★★★★★

The perforated pages tear out cleanly, so I can hand my son one at a time without the whole pad flopping around. He’s been focused for twenty minutes straight, which is a record for him, and the finished shapes actually look like something we can hang up.

Claire ★★★★★

My daughter used to leave a mess of random snipped paper everywhere, but now she actually focuses on the cutting paths and finishes a page with pride. The pad keeps her busy for a solid twenty minutes while I make dinner, and the paper is thick enough that it doesn't tear when she goes off the line.

Sofia H. ★★★★★

The pages have solid printed lines that make it easy to guide a kid's first cuts, and the tear-out sheets mean no wrestling with the spiral binding. My son stayed focused for a full twenty minutes, which felt like a miracle, and the scraps stayed mostly on the pad instead of the floor.
