Little Miss has been racing her way through all of her preschool lessons. She absolutely cannot wait for kindergarten this fall.

Remember when you were young enough to actually be excited about doing harder work like the “big kids”? Yeah, I don’t either.

Anyway, she’s mastered her letters, numbers, shapes, and counting, so we’ve been working on a lot of fine motor skills. And that includes learning how to use scissors.

But I did keep an eye on her – just to be safe.

The wavy lines and curved lines gave her a little trouble (mostly because she didn’t want to cut the racecars themselves), but once she got the hang of it, it was full steam ahead!

How to Use Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets

Before you get ready to use these preschool scissor skills worksheets with early learners, these supplies may come in handy. (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

When my kids were very young, I always used plastic-covered scissors with them.

They were very helpful, because I could give them a printable cutting practice worksheet without worrying about them cutting their fingers.

Themed Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets for Kids

As they got older, we graduated to metal scissors with blunted edges.

It made them feel they were using “real” scissors like Mom, but without the danger of sticking themselves (or a sibling who got too close).

What I love about these printable cutting worksheets for preschoolers is that they’re versatile enough to be used any time of year.

They go well with seasonal units, but they also make good fine motor skills practice any day.

If you try any of these preschool cutting worksheets, I’d love to know which ones your students enjoyed the most!
