Support and challenge
Adults can use the opportunity to:
- Assist the children in identifying their dominant hand to ensure they are provided with left-handed scissors if needed during the adult-led task of how to hold scissors.
- Provide easy-grip squeeze scissors for children not yet ready to use standard scissors, ensuring they can comfortably and safely participate in the adult-led task.
- Provide modelling dough rolled into sausage shapes and have the pupils cut off small pieces for extra scissor practice.
- Challenge the children to use tools to add more detail to their modelling dough hedgehogs, such as sculpting realistic features like paws or adding patterns to the ears.
