Ideas Are Everywhere

I was at Big Lots again the other day picking up some more of those salad tongs I found earlier. Tyler's teacher wanted a couple sets for her classroom! I happened to spy a set of cookie cutters that had a unique pattern to them.

One side of the cookie cutter is a solid square. The other side is a scalloped pattern. These can be used as stencils. Have the child grasp the side that has scallops, and then they can trace around the solid square. This will help to enforce that pressure is needed to write and to hold the stencil in place.

Here is a demonstration!

The scallops allow a place to firmly grasp the shape!
