Learning to safely use a pair of scissors is important for school and play activities—and your child will love developing this skill with paper animals. This workbook is for children who have never used scissors before. Children will learn how to hold and control a pair of scissors, and will advance from simple one-stroke cuts to complicated and curvy shapes. Your child’s first leap into learning. With First Steps Workbooks, toddlers practice motor control skills and develop spatial reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Children can take the first step in their education by stickering, pasting, cutting, coloring, and folding with our colorful and fun exercises. Review: Great tool for toddlers to practice with safety scissors - High quality paper, cute bright pages and fun objectives that keeps my three year old engaged and learning how to use his motor skills to cut along the lines. Review: Great for keeping little kids busy - My kids' preschool teachers are always talking about scissor practice being great for fine motor skills, plus my children both love cutting things up. This book is a great way to keep them interested and cutting things they are SUPPOSED to cut. ;) The book instructs parents to cut the project from the page for the child, but I just tear out an entire page and hand it to them, and that's one more line they get to cut. The pages are stiff enough to be easy for them to manage, but no so stiff as to be hard to cut. It is a bit basic for my 4 year old, so it's more a toy than educational for her, but I'll still buy more when they've finished chopping up this one because they enjoy it so much and it keeps them busy. I do have to hang around to tear out the pages, but it works well for when I'm cooking dinner and they want to hang out in the kitchen with me.

My four year old needs a little practice with scissors and this book was great motivation. He could do most of the projects ...
My four year old loves these books and went through this quickly! The books are sequential -- kids practice cutting simple lines, then curves, etc before moving onto more sophisticated projects. My four year old needs a little practice with scissors and this book was great motivation. He could do most of the projects on his own. The pictures are really cute and colorful and the projects are interesting to preschool aged children. I would recommend this for ages 2.5 on up, depending on your child's fine motor skills.

Kindergarten/Preschool Prep should include cutting practice!
The kiddo loves these! I was told by his preschool teacher that he needed to work on his cutting and tried some printable worksheets with different lines and shapes to cut, but he was bored with these and cutting practice turned into a chore. I was so happy. When I stumbled across this line of books. This particular one really captured my 5 year old's attention and he now begs to do his "cutting homework" he does a couple pages everyday and his cutting has significantly improved. I like how it progresses in difficulty- gives my son the right amount of a challenge without being frustrating. Overall, it would highly recommend to parents, teachers and care givers! Cutting practice is often overlooked by parents when preparing their kiddos for school- don't make the same mistake I did! I felt quite silly having focused all my attention on learning the alphabet, name writing, numbers, shapes etc. and having my child not know how to hold a pair of scissors lol Don't beat yourself up if you're like me though , kids learn fast!

Schneideübungen für die Feinmotorik
Wir haben bereits das Vorgängerheft zum Schneidenüben und da es meinem Sohn so sehr gefallen hat, habe ich den Nachfolger bestellt. Am Anfang wurde wieder leichte Schneideübungen (kurze Linien, dann lange Linien, Längst, Quer, Diagonal) wiederholt. Danach ging es an Schwungschneiden oder Schneiden über Kante, Spirale und zum Schluss ganze Bilder ausschneiden. Wir haben uns jetzt schon das nächste Heft dafür besorgt, da es dem Kind (4) Spass macht und auch zum selber schneiden anregt. So wollte er bereits in einem weiteren Kumon Buch zum kleben (Sticker and Paste) die Figuren selber ausschneiden und einkleben. Für uns ein großer Fortschritt.

functional & good
Awwww.... it turned up in "review"... it's been YEARS since my daughter was learning to use scissors... It was such a cute activity book with lovely images, & we being non-wasters & "vidyaa ka sammaan"... used every image on cards... as posters on cupboards... even the miniature ones as notebook "stickers" :)

Amazing kept my preschooler entertained while homeschooling older ones! He is very skilled with cutting out for his age I think thanks to these books!

Kumon - è una garanzia
Va benissimo per bimbi che stanno imparando/hanno appena imparato a ritagliare. Stimola la manualità e l'attenzione del bambino quando deve ricomporre i pezzi.
