Working with cutting practice can be a little bit boring for little ones.

After all, what’s fun about just tracing lines up and down a page with a pair of scissors?

Which is why it’s fun to add themes to scissor cutting practice!

Kids may not like the idea of “practicing” but they will love putting apples in the apple basket when they use these preschool apple cutting practice worksheets!

With our little one, all I had to do was hand her the printables and say “See if you can use the scissors to get the apple to the basket” and she was off!

If these worksheets go over well with your kids, be sure to try some of our other preschool worksheets and activities, including our racecar scissor skills printables or our apple preschool counting puzzles!

Each of these scissor skills printables features a different dashed line for kids to cut.

One has a wavy line moving from left to right, and one has a wavy line moving from right to left.

A third has a straight line, and the last has an extra curvy line.

These would be a great fit for a preschool apple unit, but you could really use them any time of year.

Are you still looking for easy and fun apple themed early learning ideas? I’ve got you covered!

I could seriously create apple themed resources all year long.

But we’re heading into fall and that means I’ll be moving on to other themes soon, like leaves, acorns, and farms.

Those are fun themes too, though, so yay!

I still had one more apple learning activity to share with all of you this year: this printable apple shape tracing activity!

This is a fun early geometry lesson for little ones who are learning to recognize shapes around them!

And it would also make a great addition to an early math center or a morning tub.

Apple Shapes! Printable Apple Shape Tracing Activity

To use this printable apple shape tracing activity, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

• Printer (with ink)
• Printer paper
• Colored pencils or crayons
• Dry erase crayons or dry erase markers (optional)
• Laminator (optional)

This product includes shape tracing worksheets for 12 distinct shapes, such as:

• Square
• Rectangle
• Circle
• Hexagon
• Star
• Oval
• and more!

Each page shows an apple-themed shape with tracing shapes and a label for each shape name.

Show students how to recognize each shape by using their fingers to outline the apple shape. If there are vertices and sides, count them together.

Then they can practice spelling and reading the shape name before using a crayon or colored pencil to trace the shapes on the page.

Each page is also available in a line art version if you need to save on color ink.

Personally, I love to print those on Astrobright paper so they’re still colorful!

If you want to turn this into a reusable activity, laminate each page. Then let students use them with dry erase crayons or dry erase markers.

Since morning tub resources tend to be smaller, you may want to print these at half-size if you want to place them in a tub.

You can even punch a hole in the corner of each printable and place them on a ring to keep the pages together.
