Kumon Publishing Co, Ltd My First Book of Cutting

My son is over the moon!

Lovely book. My 4 year old loves it.Lots of good cutting ideas.My only suggestion would be for the basic cutting pages to last longer; it progresses too quickly to cutting lots of lots of smaller lines which is quite boring for a young child hence 4 stars instead of 5.What I do it, cut down the lines to provide a more achievable activity.

My 4 year old loved this book. We used this book in parallel with 'Are you ready for kindergarten-scissor skills' so that she gets more practice. She managed to finish the 2 books in 2 weeks and is now doing the jigsaw pasting book also by Kumon. When she stared this book she could hardly cut a straight line. I could really see her cutting improving as we progressed with the two books. She also loved the certificate at the end.

One of our favourite Kumon workbooks (we have tried about 10 of them). My 3 year old daughter who is crazy about trying out scissors has loved doing this at home. Really recommend it, and some lovely page themes.I wouldn't particularly call it "My First Book of Cutting" though. Kumon also do a cutting book in their 2 year olds plus range called "Lets Cut Paper" which is probably a better one to start with. Even that one gets fairly difficult (for a newcomer to cutting) fairly quickly, so in parallel we also did lots of cutting on scrap bits of paper, usually trying to follow lines that mummy had drawn in black marker pen.Definitely recommend this book for once they have started though.

Got half of the book.
