Paper and String Collage

Emily's Adventure with Cutting and Gluing

I gave Emily a chance to use scissors for the first time this week. She got the hang of it almost immediately. We started with string and then tried thin strips of paper which I held for her. Today Emily cut up different colors of scrap paper and then she asked to do string. After all her cutting we glued the pieces onto some construction paper to make a collage. This was great practice in cutting and gluing.

Emily enjoyed dumping all of the cut paper and string onto the glue.
