Cut paper and use glue to make craft

Art

• The child learned how to use scissors to cut paper into different shapes and sizes.
• They learned how to apply glue to stick the cut paper onto a surface.
• They explored different textures and colors of paper and learned how to select and combine them in their craft.
• The child developed their fine motor skills by manipulating scissors and glue.

For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different types of paper, such as tissue paper, construction paper, or patterned scrapbook paper. They can also try creating more complex designs or adding other materials like buttons or yarn to their crafts. Encourage them to explore different themes or stories they can incorporate into their crafts as well.
