My 'lovely' Mums/Toddler group have got me worried. At what age should a child be able to use scissors properly e.g. cut an A4 sheet of paper, cut out objects with one hand?
DD doesn't own any scissors (she'll be 3 in a few months). The Toddler group mums were all saying that she should be using them by now and she should be able to cut various shapes out. Then the 'when she goes to pre-school, they'll have to work with her...it is a requirement for nursery...blah blah blah.
I'm not about to rush out and buy a set of scissors jsut to keep up with the other mums but what is the average age for them to master this?
