A note for parents

Cutting along straight, zigzag, and curved lines strengthens the small hand muscles needed for writing. It takes about 10 minutes; please stay close and supervise the scissors.

How to help

  • Show the "thumbs up" scissor grip: thumb in the small hole, fingers in the big one.
  • Hold the paper with the other hand and turn it as you cut.
  • Keep the cut pieces for a collage or a quick glue activity.

Choose "Actual size" or "100%" when printing. A4 is 210 x 297 mm; US Letter is 8.5 x 11 in. The black-and-white version uses less ink.
