Learning and Teaching with Preschoolers

Where the magic begins

Preschool Cutting Station

​Preschool is the prefect time to start building fine motor skills and hand strength.
Allowing children to use scissors in a variety of ways will give them the opportunity  to develop those much-needed fine motor skills as they begin the process of learning how to write.
But it is much more than just fine motor skills, when children use scissors they are also improving hand eye coordination and bilateral coordination.
​
​Give children plenty of opportunity to use scissors through out the day.

One way is to give children access to a cutting station.   Set up a simple cutting station that children can use through out the day. 
Morning Work Time
Quiet Time
Table Top Activities before nap
​or
When children need to be redirected
​
​Have different items for the children to use scissors with.
