Instructions
1. Cut strips of yarn or paper into equal length long enough to reach from the
top of the ball to the table. Tape a row of "hair" (yarn or paper strips) across
the top of each ball. Place each ball in a bowl to hold it steady, and place the
bowl on a table.
2. Make a sign-up sheet by writing "Needs a turn to give hair a trim" at the top
of a piece of paper. Place the paper and a pencil on the table and let children
sign up to "cut hair." Call the children for a turn in the order that they sign up.
3. Show the children how much hair a person might get trimmed.
4. Let the children trim a short length of hair. Make sure they use the dustpan
to clean up the hair they cut off before the next person comes to work.
