Sir N finds the cutting out a little over whelming due to his lack of skill so I cut some and he cuts some and as his skill grows he cuts out more.

| It was fun speaking about seeds and why they come from plants. Sir N enjoyed mixing colours for the lion and pasting cotton wool on the mane. |
Last week at Art co-op we used The Usborne ART Treasury and learned about Henri Matisse who used scissors and paper to "draw with scissors" when he was too ill to stand and paint. Then we used scissors and glue to make our own pictures.
So don't forget to get the scissors out and build your cutting skills.

One of my fond memories of my children was that stage teaching them to use scissors. What amused me was the expressions of the mouth and then the tongue would come out too as they cut around the curves then the torso would lift and when completed a sigh then the facial expressions waiting for praise of a job well done! Priceless is no other name for it. But don't forget to teach them the safety of working with the scissors and when they hand them over to another person. So SAHM's enjoy this time with the wee ones. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI found when mine were little that cutting play dough with scissors was good fun and a good way to build up their muscles for cutting.
ReplyDeleteToo true. Love their expressions of concentration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea Kymatt ! Can't wait to try that next.
ReplyDeleteOh, Wow! WE LOVED the Abeka Art Project Books! In fact, as I look up from my computer, I can see the same snowman on the dining room wall. I even decorated our little 'kiddy' chairs with Amber Lamb and Button Bear at one point. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour and simplicity of the books!! I love the way he enjoys them too.
