We're making Kids Christmas Crafts both fun and easy: Tips for using scissors and easy methods for cutting! Grades in parenthesis indicate may be suitabley extended to these ages or grades. *Regional grading: In
my general area, Sunday School preschool 3's by Christmas are pretty
well able to cut on thick lines and have a sense of colors and shapes.
Most of them have been in a preschool program since September. In contrast,
in other regions of the country, I have seen many 4 year olds who, at
Christmas, are still not able to use scissors to cut on simple lines
nor know basic shapes. My crafts for 3's and 4's assumes the children
can cut on simple lines. If you think the cutting is above the ability
level of your class, cut the project or part of the craft for your children
before the class starts. Several of the 2's and 3's crafts are provided
to practice cutting skills. |
