Scissors cut slowly along a dotted line, get carried closed and pointing down, and are passed to a friend handles first; then a brush keeps its paint on the paper, a spilled pot is wiped up with a sponge, and painty hands are washed clean under a tap. Three friends crowded at one end of a table spread out so everyone has room, the tools on the floor go back in their cup, and a green tick for scissors, paint and space recaps that safe art means being careful with all three.
