Description
Attached you’ll find 12 pages that address the following skills:
- Snipping
- Cutting short lines
- Cutting 4″ lines
- Cutting 6″ lines
- Cutting 8″ lines
Each page has varying amount of visual cues, depending on your child or student’s needs. Hopefully they will progress to requiring fewer and fewer visual cues as they develop their cutting and overall Visual Motor skills.
**TIP FOR USE** Until further mastery, your child will have better success if pages are printed on cardstock. If you don’t have time to change out the paper or don’t have access to cardstock, no problem! I keep a stapler at my therapy table and quickly staple the pages to pieces of construction paper (when I don’t have cardstock nearby). The construction paper is at least thicker than regular copy paper!
As a school-based occupational therapist, I provide a list of cutting tips at the beginning of the cutting packet to ensure the children or students you work with develop a correct scissor grasp and proper cutting skills that will support the development of their visual motor skills.
I advise that these skills should be worked on in progression. A child who has not yet mastered snipping, should not begin to work on cutting lines until…. they master snipping. Likewise, a child who has not yet mastered cutting 4″ lines, should not begin working on 8″ lines until they have done so.
This cutting packet features a shamrocks theme. In my experience in working with preschoolers, their worksheets must be engaging in order to optimize their attention to a given task. I enjoyed regularly making new worksheets according to the given season or holiday, and now I’m sharing those with you! I hope that you have as much fun with them as I have!
ENJOY!
