Let’s Cut Paper!

Jackson got this little workbook from my parents for Christmas, but since we moved shortly after Christmas, some of their Christmas gifts were packed up in storage.  I came across this book the other day and knew Jackson would love it.  It is called Let’s Cut Paper!   

This is from the Kumon First Step Workbook series.  He also has My Book of Easy Mazes and My Book of Coloring.  I think after I write this blog I may order several more.  He really loves them!
This particular books helps him learn to use scissors and helps with fine motor skills.  Not only does he cut the paper, but he has to fold the paper in certain spots. 
It starts with simple things, like cutting whiskers -

Then cutting out mixed up puzzles and putting them together - (I let him glue his final product to paper)

 

A boat and a (sideways) rocket ship -

  

We have been doing a few each day. 

Of course, why would he want to sit in a chair like a normal person?!?!

                   

This one he had to cut out the corners, then fold up the sides to make a fence for the sheep.

      

Pause for some sweet pictures….

   

He is all about posing for pictures right now, can you tell? 

           

I love that sweet boy…
