I work at a small pre-school and we have art once per week. I am always trying be creative, but we are limited in what we can do with our supplies. This silhouette cutting tool would help us will continual projects for the children. Weather it be making a fall project with life looking leaves or apples pumpkins, summertime projects like flowers, bugs, the sun, etc... there are so many things that can be done and this would be a tool that would not just sit in the corner not being used.
