🐝 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Cutting strips is 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. Start with straight lines—once they master those, the curves and zigzags become achievable challenges rather than frustrating tasks.
