What you could use:
Glue and spreader
Sequins
Googly eyes
Cut out the frogs together. You could hold the paper while your child tries to make snips. Turn the paper for them so they can keep their hand still and facing forwards.
Use the PVA glue to stick the sequins and googly eyes onto the frogs.
Use the spreader to add glue to the speckled log, again making a horizontal line from left to right. Then stick the frog to the log.
Choose suitable scissors for your child. If they are left handed try left handed scissors. If they find it hard to open and close regular scissors try spring loaded scissors or Easi-Grip scissors. Choose scissors with rounded ends and make sure they are sharp enough to cut otherwise it will be frustrating for your child. Teach your child scissor safety and supervise them when they are using them. Snipping playdough is another good way to start practising scissor skills.
Try to encourage your child to put their thumb on top. This grip will strengthen the same muscles that children need for drawing and writing. To reinforce this position, you can ask your child to show the thumbs up sign before holding the scissors or draw a smiley face on their nail with pen.
