Description
How to use it: Little Hairdresser
In short: printable faces with paper hair to cut into any style. Ages 3-7. PDF download – prints on US Letter or A4.
Cutting practice usually means following a line, and children know perfectly well that they are being drilled. This one turns the scissors into a hairdressing job: the hair is theirs to cut short, spiky, wavy or all off. Nobody can do it wrong, which is why children who avoid scissor work will pick this one up.
