An Easier Way To Cut (Teaching Children With Special Needs)

So, your child tends to have some trouble when it comes to cutting things out. Who doesn't at some point or another? Grab a highlighter, a marker, a crayon - you can even make it your kiddo's favorite color, for that matter. To tell you the truth, though, I have always had the best luck with green or blue highlighter. It's probably just me. So, before you present the activity to your child, go ahead an highlight the lines you want your little one to cut on. Once that's all set, it's time to tell your kiddo all about where she's going to cut, using your finger to go ahead and trace over the outline. Make sure you trace over the whole darn thing, too. That little extra moment or two should take you the rest of the way in turning something tricky into something that could actually be downright easy. I've seen it happen!

Thanks for watching!
