How to Use the Christmas Cutting Pages
Step 1: Print the strips
Print the cutting practice pages. Each strip is leveled, so kids can start simple and work up to harder lines.
Step 2: Start with straight lines
Begin with straight lines and simple snips, then move on to curved lines, zigzag paths and holiday shapes.
Step 3: Snip along the lines
Let children use kid-safe scissors to snip along the lines independently. For extra practice, laminate strips and trace them with dry-erase markers before cutting.
Step 4: Use the pieces
Glue the cut pieces onto construction paper, or staple all the strips together to make a cutting booklet for on-the-go practice.
