🦕 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Dinosaur themes motivate reluctant cutters because children care deeply about freeing their favorite creatures. A child who resists cutting practice suddenly becomes focused when cutting involves rescuing a T-Rex. This is practical life work meeting the child where they are. Use their natural interests to build real skills, then watch those skills transfer to less exciting tasks later.
