Shape Scissor Skills

6/28/2021

The free membership printable this week is Shape Scissor Skills for scissor control and fine motor skills development. 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.

butterfly letter cover-up cards for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Butterfly Letter Cover-Up Cards for letter recognition and fine motor skills development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them along the center line on each page and laminated them.

We used buttons to use as cover-ups but you can also use pom poms ... play dough ... do-a-dot markers ... or the cover-up circles I have included with the patterns.

In this activity children cover up the same letter that is on the butterfly on each card. I have included black and white as well as part and full color patterns so you have a choice in what to print out.

Laminate all pieces for durability. Using an xacto knife slice along the line at the top of each color pot. I have included pots with color names and without color names.

In this activity children pick a color pot and find the same color flower. They then insert the flower into the top of each pot where the opening has been sliced. Play continues until all flowers have been matched.
