ThinkabaraScissor Cutting Practice
Seven levels from straight lines to a spiral. Print one level, or all seven at once.
How to use it
Cutting builds hand strength and two-hand coordination: one hand cuts, the other turns the paper. Start with short straight lines, and move on when cutting is smooth.
Tip: “thumbs up” — the thumb sits on top in the small hole. Use child-safe scissors and card stock-weight paper for beginners.
