Some months ago, I was able to “witness” the scissors work of a 7-year old ( a son of my officemate). My son hasn’t learned to cut paper on his own then. I was already  so amazed even at his not too perfect cuts then.

Looking back, I can only smile. Know why? Because without bias, I can fairly say that in a couple of months I can see my son (who will be 4 by then) doing the same work as that 7-year old kid. No kidding. And I say that without being biased and with much conviction because I trust his capability like I trust my favorite anti wrinkle cream.

My son has yet to refine his cutting skills but he has already learned to cut fairly well - and on his own. Thanks to this book:

Yes, thanks to this workbook. Indeed, the Let’s Cut Paper! workbook with it’s fun-filled pages, of colorful pictures, has helped my son learn the necessary control skill for cutting i.e holding the scissors properly, stopping on corners and following cutting lines.  And because  the learning system is a step-by-step process, it won’t be frustrating for kids to learn a new skill.

He’s actually got less than 5 pages to do on this workbook before he gets his completion certificate and I must say that his cutting skill has tremendously improved from Day 1 with this book. It still needs a lot of polishing but he’s already on his way to do that.
