The Scissor-Master

What does a three year old do with one plain piece of paper and a pair of scissors?
This.  And I kid you not.

I walked into the room as Mimi and Liza were busy making some snowflakes, and Crash was busy working at his own end of the table.  I looked at his "work" and asked the girls if they helped him cut anything out, and they both said, "No.  Why?"  I held this up:

   and then this:

Does this possibly resemble one of the Midwest or Great Lake States of this country?  Hmmm?  Maybe the state that we happen to reside in?  Incredible?  I kinda think so.  But I'm not biased or anything...

Crash was not happy with his shape though, because he made a mistake.  He was done and going to toss it into the trash when I nabbed it from his hand.

Notice the "mistake" he made?  Might it be the Mississippi River?!  

I don't think we could have gotten him to cut the shape of Minnesota out this well if we had drawn it for him before-hand.  

This just crazy-funny...

  1. Impressive...remember when I cut out Delaware in Jell-o in fifth grade??? Ours look similar. And he's 3.

  2. LOL - yes, I do remember the Jell-o Delaware. That was fun! (Tasted pretty good, too!)

    What a fluke, eh? I wonder if I could free-hand with scissors as well as he does.......
