Inspired by the Montessori method of learning through play, this Cutting Shapes set from SES Creative is a fantastic way to introduce preschoolers to the skill of using scissors. This activity is designed to build confidence and develop key skills in a safe, fun, and creative way.

The set includes a pair of child-safe scissors, specially designed for little hands, that will cut paper but not fingers or hair. Children can use the cutting guides to practise cutting out basic shapes, then use the safe finger glue to stick them onto the six colourful collage boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

The set contains six animal collage boards, two cutting cards printed with basic patterned shapes, one pair of child-safe scissors and 45 ml of finger glue. Everything needed to complete six collage projects is included in the box.
The scissors are specifically designed to cut paper only, leaving fingers, hair and fabric unharmed. SES Creative manufactures these to European safety standards, and the set carries a 3-6 years age rating, though adult supervision is recommended during use.
The activity uses hands-on, self-directed practice rather than passive instruction - children follow guided cutting lines at their own pace, then make a tangible finished collage. This step-by-step process mirrors the Montessori approach of building real-life practical skills through direct sensory experience, developing fine motor control and concentration alongside creativity.
