How to Use Scissors & Glue Sticks for Preschool/Kindergarten Prep

Students will learn about how to safely hold and use scissors. They will learn the proper grasp for holding scissors. Students will also learn how to use glue sticks. Students will engage in fine motor skills activities to strengthen hand muscles.
