They become so excited when they notice that they have cut a shape out and they like to build objects like houses with those shapes. My 3 year old also enjoys printing letters and cutting those out.

I will draw shapes on paper for them to cut, however they are not quite able to follow the shape with scissors yet. Still, it is great for them to practice following the shapes and fun as well!
