Scissor skills by cutting along spiral lines.
How to use
- Start at the outside of the spiral and cut carefully along the red dashed line.
- Turn the paper slowly as you cut so the scissors stay comfortable.
- For the snake: cut the spiral to make the snake longer.
- For the lollipop: cut the spiral on the sweet.
- Supervise closely and use child-safe scissors.
Tips
- Go slowly — spiral cutting takes patience.
- Help younger children start the cut.
- Praise steady, controlled snips.
