 | Now we begin the actual cutting. Up to this point children have patiently colored and dried the filter...but for some reason they tend to speed thru this step of cutting. Perhaps they are filled with anticipation of it being finished. You need to emphasize how important patience is at this point to producing an excellent work. I make a point to demonstrate cutting interesting "freeform" shapes, and remember to instruct them to cut along the folded edge, staying well within the traced circle line. |
| We continue on with more freeform cuts, twisting and turning the paper as we cut. Our focus is on creating interesting shapes. |  |
 | To create even greater interest, holes made with no connection to the folded edge should be made. Younger children will often poke and injure themselves trying this; however, if you put a stack of newspapers down and demonstrate pushing the point of a scissors down and twisting back and forth, such holes can be made safely. |

| Okay...now we are finished, and the folded construction paper on the left is now opened and layed down. |
