Em's scissor skills

Emeline got a "math" book for her birthday. It is actually a preschool skills workbook but she calls it her math homework.
She insisted that she could do a cut and paste activity one day so I let her have at it.
Concentration
Aggravation
It's tough getting those scissors to do what you want them to.

She was VERY persistant as she worked to get ONE square cut out.
I thought she was done and was jumping around cheering but NO, she had to tidy it up a bit.
There it is. Later she was very upset that the other 8 squares had black lines on them. She stuck with it for a while, put it away because her hands ached and went back at it until it was cut, sorted and glued. Way to go Emmy!
