Snip Santa’s Beard

December 9, 2014 by Sarah 4 Comments

My boys are right in the ‘scissor phase.’ They love cutting, and so far we have been able to keep their cutting practice limited to paper. Come to think of it, I may have been asking for trouble introducing this craft to them—but it is so cute!

We did this very cute Santa craft and practiced giving his beard a little trim. Not only is this craft adorable, but it is also a wonderful way to strengthen little hands for future writing.

This craft was great for my toddler, as the cutting was really kept to just one snip at a time—a wonderful introduction to scissors.

And an introduction to the fact that they could be used to cut hair…  Hmmm….

    I have a mixed-age daycare. My three year olds just loved this craft! I modified it for my younger ones. I traced a triangle shape for the red hat and a circle for the tip of the hat so they got lots of cutting practice. I give them a cutting project once a week. Thank you!
