Shape Scissor Skills

shape scissor skills for preschool and kindergarten
I made an activity to help with scissor control and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut along the center line on each page.

You can print the patterns on cardstock or regular paper. In the image above I printed the black and white patterns on color cardstock paper. There are single shape cards and double shape cards for children to practice their scissor skills.

In this activity children cut along the dashed lines on each shape card. I have found that using cardstock paper helps keep the paper more rigid for younger children while they are using scissors which is helpful.

I made reindeer shape dot cards to work on shape recognition as well as fine motor skills development. I printed them on cardstock paper but you can use regular paper if you like.

I set the dot cards out with a small container of paint and some q-tips. The children dip the q-tips in the paint and then fill in the blank dots on the shapes.

You can use markers or glue sequins on the blank dots if you did not want to use paint. I made both black and white as well as color patterns with two different styles of shape dots. You can download the patterns below.

I separated the nests and the birds and set them out. The children picked a birds and then found the matching nest with the same shape.  Play continued until all birds and nest had been matched.

I made shape punching strips for the children to work on shape identification and fine motor skills.  I printed them on cardstock paper but you can also use regular paper.

In this activity children punch a hole on the black dot underneath the matching shapes on each strip.

You can also clip the the matching shapes by using clothespins or large plastic paper clips on the black dots.

Another way to use the shape punch strips is to attach hot and cold dots on the black circles for use with a hot dots pen.  I purchased mine from amazon but they are made by learning resources so you may be able to get them from their site as well.

You can grab the patterns below and see a video of all three ways we use our shape punch strips.

fine motor shapes for preschool and kindergarten
I made a set of shape and line cards that can be used for fine motor activities.  We used small buttons but you can also use pom poms ... glass beads ... or playdough.

I printed the cards on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them. In this activity children traced the shape and line cards with buttons.  We also rolled playdough and used that on the shape cards as well.  You can see a video of this activity below.
