I was somewhere the other day and it was brought to my attention that K was walking around with a pair of scissors. I didn't think anything of it because he knows the scissor rules (not to run while holding them & they're for cutting paper) and he had been using them while he was helping me. I did have him put them up though. He didn't understand why at first. Then I explained to him there were kids there that aren't allowed and don't know how to use scissors. To me, this is another Deuteronomy lesson. We should always be teaching our kids.
I was amazed how many 4yos in my Sunday School class last night are not allowed to or have never used glue sticks at home. I know I tend to be a pretty laid back mom, but I didn't realize I was that laid back. Why is it more parents don't let their children use them, even if it's supervised? I guess I find it surprising since I bought K his own paint, glue sticks, markers, and scissors for his 2nd Christmas. I even have them stored somewhere he can reach them whenever he wants. He really enjoys art and crafts and it not only allows his imagination to soar, but it keeps him productively busy.
When did you let you kid(s) start using their own scissors and glue?
