Here he is, cutting a used envelope which is in lovely red. The idea of the activity was to cut the envelope and paste them on the paper, preferably inside the circle. As he was still learning this new skill, there was a lot of two-hand cutting. He also didn't know how to cut the whole way through. After cutting, he tore along the line.
It was his first attempt at pasting. He wasn't sure how to use a glue and was slightly hesitant to touch it at first.
Apply glue, checked.
Paste it on paper, checked.
We also cut up some other used envelopes. Z pasted them all. He was very happy with the result and I'm glad that he learnt something new.
Learning and bonding need not be an expensive and elaborated thing. This project cost nothing at all. Just some time and patience :)
(For those who are worried that he might hurt himself, I was watching him like a hawk the whole time. It is good that he learns to use real tools since young.)
