A Question for Preschool Moms...Scissors?

I'm up(couldnt sleep, to many thoughts) looking into safety scissors. Finn has excellent motor skills. I feel that it would be appropriate to let him work on learning to cut paper(under my close watchful eye, dont worry.) I remember the kindergarten ones that barely cut an entire piece of paper, let alone hair or skin, looking up different kinds available for little hands. Any good suggestions? What age did you allow your child to start working on this skill? I wouldnt trust Lorelai, while she is more stable in her walking and things, she is not as motor skill enhanced as he is(though she is catching up.) This would definetly be a one on one time kind of thing with him. Do they make special ones for small hands to handle easier now? So many things seem to have that alternative now, like crayons and things, so I thought I would ask you moms. Any advice is welcome. Oh and if you have a blog about a related activity with your own children, please link me! I know Im always asking for links but I love reading different perspectives on my subjects of interest! Everytime I read a different parenting blog, I leave it thinking "Why didnt I think of that?" Tonight has been a night on Pinterest looking up ideas for the hypothetical future homeschooling of our kids and activities to do with them sooner than that. Im pretty sure this is one of my favorite parts of having children. The expanse of ideas on how to present new material and teach them. There are so many creative ideas out there! I especially love this for Finn. He is a major pick it up in play kind of kid. So anything that I can make seem like a game or playtime is great! This is one of the reasons I would consider homeschool for his future. Lorelai, on the other hand, is a much more patient learner. She will watch you as you talk to her and intently observe actions around her. She would probably thrive in a classroom setting.

Well as always, this has seemingly helped to drain my brain of the floating thoughts that keep it from drifting to sleep. It really does seem that typing these blogs helps with the insomnia. Its as if I am emptying it onto the screen. Does anyone else ever feel that way? Maybe Im nuts but hey it works. So I get to sleep easier and you guys get reading material. Hope you enjoy the late night ramblings :) And again please give me links to your educational posts! Especially anything related to learning to use scissors, thanks!
