Learning to cut


Playdough. What a versatile childhood classic. But did you know it is also the perfect first cutting experience? Playdough offers the perfect amount of resistance, stays put on the table, and cuts with a satisfying snip. And the more children cut, the strong their finger and hand muscles become, developing the strength they will need to sustain writing and typing as they grow. Watch Teddy go! You can see his hands flying. So get out a pair of scissors and a lump of playdough and encourage your child to get cutting!
