The Creative Activity Kit Helps Preschoolers Build Scissor Skills While Cutting, Folding, and Crafting with their Favorite Bluey Characters
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Skillmatics, the global education brand creating innovative ways for children to learn through play, today announced that Skillmatics Snip, Snip! Bluey has been named a winner in the PARENTS 2026 Best Toy Awards. Designed for children ages 3-7, the hands-on activity kit combines scissor skills, crafting, and beloved Bluey characters to help young learners build confidence while creating colorful projects of their own.
With 25 step-by-step activities, Snip, Snip! Bluey turns foundational scissor skill development into a creative adventure with Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad. Children progress from cutting straight lines to curves, zigzags, and shapes, then cut, fold, and paste their way through colorful paper crafts featuring their favorite characters.
"With Skillmatics' products we are always looking for ways to make learning fun," said Dhvanil Sheth, founder and CEO of Skillmatics. "There's a real moment of pride when a child makes that first cut successfully, and then realizes they can do something they couldn't do yesterday. With Snip, Snip! Bluey, they're not thinking about practicing a developmental skill—they're thinking about making something with Bluey. That's where the magic happens: the learning is happening, but it's also just imaginative, creative play to the child."
The kit includes two child-safe scissors, an activity booklet with 25 cutting activities, and a glue stick, giving kids everything they need for hands-on, screen-free play. Along the way, cutting, folding, and pasting help strengthen fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, focus, spatial reasoning, and dexterity, while creative projects encourage imagination and artistic expression.
Skillmatics has a licensing agreement with BBC Studios for products inspired by Bluey. The animated series follows Bluey a loveable, inexhaustible, blue heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad and her little sister, Bingo. Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.
The award-winning Skillmatics Snip, Snip! Bluey is designed for children ages 3-7 and retails for $29.97 on Amazon.
