How to begin
Start with a straight cut from the paper’s edge. Then try broad zigzags and curves, turning the paper with the supporting hand. Keep the path visible ahead of the scissors.
Review your work
A turn can take several small movements. You need not close the scissors completely on every step if that creases the paper. Supervise scissor use and adapt the route to the participant.
Prepare to cut
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.
