✂️ Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Cutting strips are the perfect bridge between learning to use scissors and actual cutting projects. The narrow format helps children focus on the cutting line without getting overwhelmed by large sheets of paper. Use these during cultural celebrations to connect fine motor practice with meaningful learning about African American history and contributions.
