Katelyn's new love is scissors. She spends many a happy hour these days drawing and then cutting out her pictures.
It takes a lot of concentration!
We have many piles like this around the house. Luckily she doesn't seem to notice if they're not there the next day... and she doesn't look too closely at the trash cans...
The above pile was all the people and objects for the Book of Mormon stories about Nephi- getting the brass plates, sailing to the promised land, etc. here is a close-up of Nephi with the plates (right) and the liahona (left).
The other result of this new hobby is many many scraps of paper everywhere! :)
Any tips for how to get your child to hold a pencil and scissors, correctly? I have tried, but she always reverts to her own way after 5 seconds...
maybe I can ask Mrs. Grant or Mrs. Valencia maybe they have a trick. but I know it is better to break a bad habit now. maybe tell her her thumb needs to point up? and show how cutting is neater when held correctly? I just a read a great web sight on general kindergarten readiness. All the advise sounds so familiar to me, but I didn't have the internet way back when. ??
