Working with our hands..

This is a good activity to strengthen little hands to get ready for cutting. Some children come to PreK having never been exposed to cutting and their fine motor skills just aren't ready for it.
-take some play dough or silly putty and form it into a donut. Then, have the child put their hand in the middle (preferably the thumb and pointer finger) and then slowly spread their fingers apart to "break" the donut.

Happy cutting!
