It is possible to prepare many cutting exercises only using an A4 paper. You can draw funny faces, shapes, flowers etc. This time try adding theme on it. you can use even newspaper, if you don’t have colored papers at home. Following the lines while cutting develops hand-eye coordination, as well.
Have ever tried to make art with watercolor and salt? It is so satisfying to watch how salt helps to spread colors quickly. It is great to be able to see salt as crystals on paper. Squeeze glue on the paper as you want and sprinkle the salt on the glue and then shake the paper. Now you can add watercolor on the salt to get amazing shapes and colors.
