Ages 3–4✂️ Cutting practice
Cut the grass – short lines scissor practice for ages 3–4
Thirteen short lines run from the edge of the paper to a thick line. The child cuts the grass under the hedgehog and the chick and stops at the line.
Done — the sheet is in your downloads
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?
Stopping the scissors at a set point is a skill of its own. Short lines with a stop line practice it many times over.
- Stopping at the thick line: control of force and length.
- Thirteen short tries on one sheet.
- The result is a fringe that can be bent like grass.
💬 Tip for parents
Say: “We only cut to the stop line, so the hedgehog keeps his feet.” If a cut goes too far, never mind. Bend the finished grass forward and back in turns and color the picture.
