Revving Racecar Scissor Skills Printables for Kids

April 18, 2019 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

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.

With my oldest child, I put off scissor skills for way too long, so this time around, we got started with safety scissors as soon as possible. She loves it!

Since she’s such a little firecracker about getting her schoolwork done, I knew she’d love these racecar scissor skills printables! These are super fun for little racers! Read on to get your set free! And if you love these, don’t miss our Busy Bee Scissor Skills Worksheets too!

Using Racecar Scissor Skills Printables with Preschoolers

All you need to do is find a willing preschooler who’s ready to try these out!

Since this wasn’t Piglet’s first time using scissors, she didn’t need a lot of assistance, especially with the straight lined worksheet.

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!

Preschool Worksheets: Apple Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets

August 14, 2017 by Selena Robinson 5 Comments

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 apple preschool scissor skills 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!

Apple Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets

To use these apple preschool scissor skills worksheets, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

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.

Let the kids know it’s okay if the lines aren’t cut perfectly. After all, we’re learning, right?

Be sure to serve some fun apple snacks afterward!
