Scissor Skills- 5 minute preschool activity.

Poppy and Branch are in serious need of a haircut. I will show you how to make these fun creatures and then let your children get to work giving them a haircut! This is an excellent and fun opportunity to learn scissor skills.

Materials needed:

toilet paper rolls pink and blue paper glue gun and glue sticks Glue stick markers or crayons Scissors printed out trolls (I just googled pictures of trolls. When you got to print them out scale them down to about 55% they should print out about the right size. If trolls are not your thing you could also use other characters with hair.)

First you will need to print out a picture of Trolls. you can google (Troll Printout) Just when you go to print out the picture be sure to scale it down to about 55%. that way the troll will fit on the toilet paper roll.

Next you will need to cut slits in your pink and blue paper.

after you cut your paper you will use your glue gun to glue the hair portion to the toilet paper roll. see video below.

You can let your children color the worksheets printed out Troll worksheets.

Next cut out Poppy and Branch

You can cut slits in poppy and branch’s hair. you will then glue your trolls to the toilet paper rolls.

Then you can give the kids some kid size scissors and tell them “Branch and Poppy need a haircut”
