Kumon little workbooks
Here’s a sample page of what we did this morning. Satori had to cut into the paper, but stop at a specific point. Then she had to fold up a little “cage” for the tiger.

Enough of that, let’s get to the fun stuff! Here is the first of our “slides”, a cutting activity recommended in Artistic Pursuits. She cut the line in the strip, then taped the end, and then walked the fairy girl to her friend. We had 4 other types, the others were wavy lines (fish to mermaid), curves, zig-zigs and more.
For this activity, I had used our fantabulous Magic Cabin catalog that I drool over every time we get it. Maybe we can’t afford all their cool, natural toys, but we can cut out their super adorable, whimsical drawings they use in their catalog! We had cute fish, mermaid, bouncy, swinging, playing children in no time.

Then, on to our “heart of love” activity, also suggested by Artistic Pursuits as cutting practice. (By the way, I placed all these activities in separate workboxes, so they were all set to go. We haven’t started the workbox system quite yet, but I see it’s benefits and hope to get into this one day.)

Cutting pink strip of paper
We elaborated by dusting heart and glitter sparkles over the glue that we used to glue the two wax paper hearts together. Satori then ran up to a still-sleeping Daddy to give him his “Heart of Love”! It now hangs in his office.
Good morning Daddy, I love you!
I told Satori we’ll practice cutting, taping, folding, pasting a lot more now. 
She’ll soon be an expert in no time!
