Talking Scissors

Why it helps

This is a pre-cutting activity that helps the child in learning the proper way to open and close scissors.

Put a pair of scissors on your hand and have the child put a pair on his hand.

Open and close your scissors in a certain pattern and ask the child to imitate/repeat what your scissors "said" using his scissors.

These activities are for home practice and don't replace the guidance of a licensed therapist.
