Junk mail is a great and *free* way to work on those scissor skills!
Something we all get right? We walk out to the mailbox to get the mail only to find ads, mailers, application forms,… etc. Start up a junk mail stash because it makes a great everyday fine motor material!
Give your child a pair of scissors and have them practice their cutting skills!
Alternatively, if they aren’t at the cutting stage yet, it’s never to soon to build those finger, hand, wrist, arm muscles needed for writing– have them tear the paper up!
Cutting out toys, food, tools, coupons are also great vocabulary builders!
