Cutting gentle curves for ages 3–4 – a wide path

Three paths down the page with gentle curves. The grey band under the line is wide, so the snip does not have to be exact.

In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.

Why is this sheet for ages 3–4?

Between a straight line and a wave sits a step that often gets skipped: the gentle curve. It is where a child learns to turn the paper instead of the scissors.

  • A wide grey band: close enough is good enough.
  • Gentle curves: a first taste of turning the paper.
  • Three paths per sheet – one sitting's worth.

💬 Tip for parents

Tell the child the scissors stay still and the paper turns. The other hand holds the sheet below the line and feeds it. If a cut wanders off, don't go back – carry on from where it stopped.
