Fantastic: in a week she learnt how to glue and stick paper, then she learnt how to use the scissors, and today she done it all!
I know many mothers would be really scared to leave scissors in the hands of a two years old. I believe that we must risk the fact that our child may get a bit hurt to give them the confidence to try things and learn. I reduce the risks by giving M. rounded point scissors and staying really-really close to her so to give her a prompt response should she have a chance to hurt herself; also I never take my eyes off her.
She was definitely very proud of her work of art and I was there to bust her confidence even more. What a shining star!
Later M. helped me with cooking the dinner. I posted the receipt and it is delicious!
