Cutting and Pasting fun

2007-12-19
My son who is 3.5 yrs old, LOVES this activity book. It may be just a phase, but cutting and pasting is his thing right now. It's really helped his fine motor skills in that he has really improved in cutting straight and on the line pretty well, much better than a month ago.

Like alot of other kumon books, the projects start off easy and simple and become more compicated, but still appropriate and doable for a preschooler. I like the ones where he has to cut out parts of a picture and put them together. I can see his problem solving skills start to develop and he's having fun too!

As I've said before, I really like the kumon products and this one

Highly recommend!

I have a preschool child with fine motor delays. This means the simple act of peeling off a sticker can create anxiety, torn stickers and lots of frustration. If left to his own devices, he will avoid ALL types of fine motor challenges.

I'm told by his teachers/therapist that a lack of fine motor challenges will surely lead to more frustration when he begins to write.

I had heard about Kumon's excellent reputation because of a nearby Kumon tutoring centers. I purchased the whole series of books.

What I love about the book as that each sticker page has a number which corresponds with a page. The stickers are so cute, and the child sticks each one on the page and can talk about the scene he is creating. We talked about each scene in depth and it made the task fun.

He didn't even realize we were working on his fine motor skills!

Cutting and Pasting

This is a great activity book for children ages 3 and above. My three year old son absolutely loved it. He asked for it everyday until it was completed. I loved that all I had to do was cut out the page he was to work on and watch him as he enjoyed his independent cutting and pasting activity.

The activities and paper quality are great: 5 stars.

Awesome way to keep child interested in learning!

I have a 4 year old daughter that I have been working with at home. We have started a reading/writing program and my daughter is more than ready for it. However, she is easily bored (as most children are). This book is perfect to stir things up. We work for a while on the reading/writing and then she gets to do something from this book. She views it as a "reward", but it is actually still teaching her. The book is awesome. You cut out each page as you go. The book starts simple. You have a picture of a fruit with the center cut out. All the child does is cut out the center and glue it in place. My daughter actually skipped these first few, but it quickly progresses. You get to glue eggs, bacon, etc.. onto a plate. You can glue eyes, ears, mouth, etc.. onto an animal or gloves, hat, skates onto a person. (Each page has a small picture at the top to show the child what the finished picture should look like). It's fun, yet teaches the child dexterity and order. The pages are sturdier than normal paper so it is easy for the child to work with. I have to make my daughter stop so we don't finish the book too quickly. There is nothing that I do not like about this book. That said, I am not sure about this being rated for 4-5-6. It is perfect for early learners so if you have a 6 year old just starting to learn it would be ok, but if you have a 6 year old that is already in school or advanced...I do think the book would be too easy.

Great for a 3 year old

My son loves doing these colorful pasting exercises. They are really basic though, and I would think a 5 or 6 year old (recommended ages 4-6) would find them boring.
Wish it were a bit bigger with more pages - he'll do about 8 of them at a time - for the price I'm not sure I'd purchase again, though with the 3 for 4 books deal, its worth it.

Fun for little ones

This is good for practicing cutting and glueing. Don't miss the 4-for-3 promotion. My son loved this book at 4 and is redoing it at 5. An excellent value as it has 40 high-quality projects just right for 4-5-6 yr. olds, not too easy, not too hard. And cute.

Pasting

This book is not great for making xerox copies if you want to use it for a lot of kids. Because it is colored, the copies come out dark. Also, the cut out portions are small, and hard for the smaller kids. There are cute concepts though but not that practical to building scissoring skills.

fun!

My child loved this book! the activites are so fun for kids-appropriate. He was very proud after each activity in the book was complete.

Kumon books are the best!

These books are so colorful and easy to use. My children can't keep their hands off them from the moment they arrive! Every day my daughter wants to do several pages in the Book of Pasting. My only problem with this book is that we are going to be finished with it so fast that I think they should make several different pasting books. I have found no other books that compare with Kumon books. I highly recommend them!
