Description
This Cutting Skills Packet was created to support distance learning through engagement with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Home Safari Program.
In this packet, you’ll find 12 worksheets 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 skills, as well as their 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 that the child(ren) you work with develop a correct scissor grasp and proper cutting skills that will support the development of their visual motor skills.
Please, please, please… let me know what you think! I’d love your feedback. Also, please share pictures of your children’s learning-in-action by tagging @ColorfullyEnthused and using the hashtag #thecolorfullyenthusedOT *
