“You are my MANE squeeze” is a Valentine-themed cutting activity that your toddlers will surely enjoy.
If you have a toddler who’s obsessed with cutting, this activity is guaranteed to be a favorite. Ever since my son mastered the art of holding and using scissors, he’s been requesting paper-cutting sessions quite frequently.
One popular cutting activity for kids is the lion’s haircut, and there are two reasons why it’s a hit: First, the lion looks absolutely adorable, and second, it offers an extended cutting experience due to the lion’s mane typically consisting of several strips of paper.
