The word "scissors"

Scissors are a tool for cutting things like paper, cloth, and thread.
It is called "hasami" because it holds things between its two blades to cut them.

When you hand scissors to someone, point the blades toward yourself and the handles toward them!

Color the big outlined "Ha" with any color you like.
It has 3 strokes. If you use a different color for each stroke, you can easily learn the stroke order!
It is also fun to make the color darker just at the loop.

Color the scissors handles bright

Try using bright colors like red, blue, or yellow for the handle loops.
Make the blades gray or silver so they look like real metal.
If you leave a little bit of white in the middle of the blades, they will look shiny!
It is also cute to make the two loops different colors.

For the second sheet, think of real colors

For the bee, yellow and black stripes with light blue wings will look great.
For the pigeon, a gray body with green or purple around the neck makes it look real.
For the flag, draw your favorite patterns to make your very own flag!

Tracing practice

In the bottom right grid, there are 8 light gray "Ha" characters lined up.
Hold your pencil correctly. Trace slowly so you do not go outside the gray lines.
The dotted lines inside the boxes show you the middle. Use them to see where to start and stop your pencil.
After you write one, compare it with the big example letter!
You do not have to write all 8 at once. Take your time and write carefully at your own pace, like 2 letters a day.

Scissors use the power of levers

Scissors are tools that use a mechanism called a lever.
The screw holding the two blades together acts as the pivot point of the lever.
When you cut thick paper, try cutting near the base of the blades, close to the screw. It lets you cut with just a little force!

Right-handed and left-handed scissors

There are right-handed and left-handed scissors.
If you use right-handed scissors with your left hand, the blades might slip apart, and it can be hard to cut.
If you are left-handed, using left-handed scissors makes cutting much easier!

Traditional Japanese scissors

Japan has traditional scissors called Wa-basami.
They are made by bending a single piece of iron into a U-shape, and you use them by pinching them with your fingers.
People still use them today for things like cutting thread.

Animals with scissors

The big claws of crabs and crayfish are also called "scissors" in Japan!
They use them to grab food and protect themselves.
A stag beetle's big jaws are shaped like scissors, too.
Isn't it neat that so many animals have shapes just like our tools?
