Cutting Straws

N (2yrs)  is concentrating on using her scissors and holding the straw in between the blades-2 very tedious tasks. 

The hardest thing for her was letting the blades open back up.  We have a pair of right-handed spring scissors.

I may have to invest in a pair of left-handed spring scissors because she kept switching hands and they won't cut that way.  

This is one of the easiest and simplest activities that really does help kiddos develop their fine motor skills! With the added bonus of seeing how far they can make the straw pieces fly!
