How to Cut Paper without Scissors?


One of my daughter’s favorite activity is to cut paper and most of the time I give her the scissors. But sometimes she gets frustrated when she wants to cut out an object with “not so much straight lines”.... For that there is no better solution than using a jumbo pin push and a cork or felt like they taught her at school.

To push pin the outline is difficult but with a little practice we can! And how much fun is it to pull away the surrounding paper and to see that what you have in your hands is the same shape as the drawing on the paper where you have to glue it on!

After we push pin it, we glue it on the alphabet
And this is how it starts to look like...
Muakmuak!
