While you do this, why not take the opportunity to develop your child's knowledge of colours. e.g. find me a blue crayon, find me a red crayon...etc.

Have your child then use that colour in a sentences. Add the verb 'cut' and expand their sentences to a level that fits their current ability.

e.g. 

1. blue

2. cut blue

3. cut blue crayon

4. cut the blue crayon
