Why do we focus on scissor skills in K Prep? There are many benefits to cutting with scissors, including:
- Independent movements of each finger
- Strengthens hand muscles
- Bilateral coordination skills (two-handed coordination)
- Visual-motor skills (eye-hand coordination)
- Visual perceptual tasks (directionality)
- Fine motor skills (separation of hand, finger dexterity)
- Promotes grasp pattern
- Focus and attention
We tried out the Owl Scissor Skills Activity from our friends at From the Pond!
