I used crimping scissors yesterday to cut out yellow circles (SOOOO many circles!!) for my class to make Easter chicks with to stick on their cards 😆 They would usually cut their own stuff out...but we only had one pair of crimping scissors, and they were so stiff that even I struggled! I now have blisters on my fingers!

Next year...they can paint!! 🤣
