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 4–5?
A zigzag teaches stopping, turning the paper and carrying on in a new direction – the basis for cutting out shapes later.
- At every corner the paper turns, not the scissor hand.
- Four lines from big teeth to small: harder from left to right.
- The straight parts between corners are short – one or two snips each.
💬 Tip for parents
Start with the line on the left; it has the biggest teeth. The main rule: the paper turns. The scissor hand keeps pointing away from the body. If corners get chopped off, remind: stop, turn, cut.
