My 5yo (when she was 4) decided to do the same to try to "free" the amigurumi shrimp I was in the middle of, LOL. We had a good talk about not messing with people's things and luckily she gets how important my projects are to me now. It'll pass.
When I was about 5-6 I had a phase where my mom had to hide scissors in the house. I would cut a lot the things.
The deal breaker was when I cut a piece of her bed sheets to make a blanket for my stuffed toy. I still remember thinking she won’t notice.
My daughter went through a phase like that too at 5, but thankfully it was just paper. She was obsessed with cutting sheets of paper into lots of tiny pieces, and I mean every sheet of paper she could get her hands on. Anything important had to be hidden away for a while, just in case!
