A friend’s little boy is having a tough time of school. He’s a bit of a perfectionist and is distraught over his second-rate cutting.
Nope, we’re not talking teens and self-harm, we’re talking kindergarten kids who think they’re the worst cutterer-outerers in the class. The teacher assures his mum that he’s doing fine, but there’s nothing more heart-braking than a little tucker trying their hardest and being disappointed. Poor little pet.
So this week we’ve got a Vegie Smugglers activity sheet to help the pre-schoolers get a bit of cutting practice before they hit kindy and the stakes get seriously high.
And so they can REALLY feel like the big kids, it’s a merit award that they can cut out, write their name on, stick on a star and stick on the fridge.
Nothing but the best cut corners at VS HQ.

Good news! I think we get so preoccupied with alphabets and numbers that we forget that it’s the little tasks that may be the most daunting!
