Line Cutting Worksheets
Each line cutting worksheet has a theme. Print out an animal cutting worksheet, transportation cutting worksheet, two food cutting worksheets, and two nature cutting worksheets. Cut from left to right, and bottom to top. Strengthening the fingers and small muscles in the hands will help your little ones grasp a pencil, tie their shoes, and open a bag of chips.
Shape Cutting Worksheets
Next, have fun with Shape Cutting Worksheets. Practice cutting smooth edges and sharp corners. This is a great chance to talk about colors and shape names. Make this into an entire activity where you paste your shapes onto a piece of construction paper, or simply cut out one shape per day as a simple exercise.
Animal Cutting Worksheets
The animal cutting worksheets are my favorite because you can color and cut! Talk about the animal on the page before you begin! How do they move? What sound do they make? Now, break out the scissors!
