Invite the child to the mat or shelf and tell them today we are going to practice using scissors to cut.

Show them where the paper goes after cutting, either the trash or the small container to empty after the job is complete. Invite the child to try cutting a few themselves. Finally show them how to restore the work and return it to the shelf. Tell them where the work will be located inviting them to explore with whenever they want.
