🍁 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Cutting strips succeed because they isolate the cutting challenge on a narrow strip. Children can focus on one line at a time without feeling overwhelmed by a large page. The Canadian symbols make practice purposeful, especially when used around Canada Day. After cutting, children can glue strips into patterns or collages, which adds a second fine motor challenge and gives their cutting work a finished product they're proud to display.
