Scissors

The benefits of scissors

The benefits of scissors include:

  • safety awareness
  • skill development.

Learning experiences

Trim pretend hair

Children who are interested in hairdressing can draw their own portraits and glue or tape strips of wool as their hair. Ensure the strips of wool are quite long. Once the children have fixed the wool on their paper, they can use scissors to give their portrait a haircut.

What colour would you like your hair to be? What type of hairstyle would you like to have?

The Interest Forest

The Interest Forest was created by a small team of Australian early childhood teachers. We believe in less paperwork and more play.

We have collected hundreds of children's interests, linked to the EYLF, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your program. We hope you enjoy exploring our Forest of interest topics.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and thank them for caring for our land, coastlines and waterways.

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present with extended respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
