Use this resource to boost your students' cutting opportunities in the classroom. Learning to cut with scissors helps a child learn to do so much more than just cut:
- It builds hand strength as students master opening and closing scissors.
- It develops hand-eye coordination as students learn to carefully watch where they are cutting.
- It develops bilateral coordination as one hand holds the paper whilst the other hand holds the scissors.
- It improves attention – as it takes a lot of concentration to use scissors effectively.
Add all these benefits to a super cute craftivity – what's not to love!
Choose from a range of cutting patterns and difficulty levels to create a jiggling jellyfish. Print black and white and colour in or use a painting effect such as crayon resist to decorate paper before cutting out. Add some curling ribbon to complete the craft and hang in your classroom.
