Melissa & Doug Scissor Skills Pad Activity Pad, Multicolor, 2304

Such a simple idea and yet has kids entertained for long periods of time. My three year old struggles to cut it himself so I would suggest for older kids but he still loves all the cut outs and trying to do it.

Perfect activity for 3-5 year olds, starting with simpler tasks and continuing with more challenging ones. The scissors work quite well although they’re plastic, however, I would recommend normal ones.

Fantastic activity book by Melissa & Doug. Not only that it gives you an opportunity to do something fun with your child (unless they want to do everything by themselves which is an additional bonus) but it helps your preschooler (in my case anyway) to practice/develop their fine-motor skills, hand-eye coordination, oddly enough patience and have fun in the process. I saw a few reviews where people complain about activity book being short lasting as once they cut everything that's it. Not sure that's a valid comment because you can always scan/copy all the pages and save them for later use which is what I have done. That way you can do this activity on numerous occasions or at least until your child gets really bored with it. My daughter and I spent two hours on the first day doing cutting, gluing and creating pictures from the cut parts to fit them into a story that we decided to pursue and we were still left with many unused pages, not to mention the scanned copies saved for later use. Also, the book comes with the safety scissors. My daughter prefers using the normal kids scissors (for a lack of a better word) but we tried the safety ones as well and they work great. Please note that if your child does not know proper cutting technique she/he might struggle with these. 5 stars for this activity book without hesitation!

Great book for practicing cutting skills. The images are bright and colourful with different themes so my four year old enjoys picking different pages to work on. It seems like a fun activity instead of work/practice.
