I love finding easy activities for Buddy that use materials I already have at home. When I saw the Samson’s haircut activity on Faithful Little Hands blog, I wanted to try it right away. Buddy hasn’t practiced using scissors since he’s been home for the summer. This activity gave him a reason to work on his scissor skills while having fun at the same time.

To prep the activity, I took a piece of 12″ x 12″ cardstock and cut it in half. Then I cut long strips down each piece to make the hair. Then I added a face to each one to make it look like a person. Buddy was excited when he saw the people, and I told him that he would be giving haircuts. 

We used these practice scissors which are amazing because they cut paper, but they don’t cut skin, hair, or fabric. Buddy asked me to cut one too, so we both had one of the faces. He enjoyed snipping off the hair at different lengths. And it was great practice for using the scissors. This activity was so simple, and yet it was a lot of fun. I’m sure we’ll do it again. Do you have any ideas for practicing with scissors? Please share in the comments.
