Straight paths provide practice opening and closing scissors. Curves require turning the paper; shapes add changes of direction, and scenes combine several pieces. Choose a path that can be followed steadily and clear a working surface.
Use scissors suitable for the participant and supervise children while cutting. First separate a manageable area of paper and keep the supporting hand away from the blades. Arrange all the pieces without glue before deciding where to attach them.
