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.
Another award to stick on the fridge....
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!
