🚜 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Children ready for cutting strips can snip paper edges independently. If a child struggles to cut along lines, they need more snipping practice first. Set out scrap paper strips and let them practice opening and closing scissors to make small cuts. Once snipping feels easy, they're ready for cutting strips.

📊 Skill Progression

  • Beginner (ages 2-3): Focus on straight lines only
  • Intermediate (ages 3-4): Add gentle curves and waves
  • Advanced (ages 4-5): Progress to zigzags and complex shapes
