Adaptable Cutting Tools to Work on Fine Motor at School!

Help me give my students scissors that adapt to their fine motor skill level!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $171

This project is fully funded

My Project

In our preschool class, we have little learners of all abilities and levels - and the tools they use in class should reflect that too!

This project is for scissors that are for various levels of fine motor ability to meet the fine motor needs of all students in our classroom.

By having a variety of scissors, students will be able to work on fine motor and cutting skills. By having adaptable scissors of various levels, we can support students' fine motor development and have tools that can "grow" with them until they've mastered regular scissors.
