Try this to get your child familiar with nail clippers
This activity helps kids get used to using nail clippers. They’ll want to trim the cat’s nails themselves, forgetting that they’re afraid of having their nails trimmed. After this, they will get used to the nail clippers and will be less afraid of having their nails cut. Let’s play.
