CUTTING SKILLS WORKSHEETS:
- Snipping Paper – children can work on opening and closing scissors as they snip around a picture
- Cutting Lines – Now it’s time to start advancing the scissors across a variety on line lengths PLUS an arc line!
- Shapes – Developmental shapes including circle, square, triangle, pentagon, and heart are included. Want to add some matching skills to this cutting activity? In addition to cutting shapes, children can paste them to the matching shapes on the following page!
- Complex Shapes – a St. Patrick’s Day Theme Picture is included with an added fine motor activity! First, cut on the dotted lines. Next, have the child cut out the 3 shapes and glue them on the picture. Finally, they can complete a fine motor activity. On the sheet, you will find 15 circles. You can have your child place pennies, poms using tongs, or stickers on the circles. The stickers I like to use are here and here. The reinforcement stickers add an extra challenge. Have the child draw on the reinforcement sticker trying to stay on the path. Using crayons or markers to color in the circles is another idea! My students LOVE these scented markers because they add olfactory input! If you need smaller markers for smaller hands, these pip squeak markers work well!
WHO ARE THE St. Patrick’s Day CUTTING ACTIVITIES FOR?
