Now that our preschoolers have mastered how to use scissors it’s time to explore a bit. Today we cut straws to strengthen the muscles in our hands and fingers. Strong fine motor muscles are imperative to build handwriting skills. These muscles serve as a foundation for pencil grip, letter formation, and endurance while coloring and writing. Exposing preschoolers to multiple mediums while cutting is key. Explore using scissors with playdough, noodles, straws, fabric, cardboard, pipe cleaners, anything you can find!
