These scissor maze cutting worksheets for kids are the perfect way for kids to practice cutting out shapes!
Once kids have practiced these creative cutting ideas, they’re ready to move on to beginner cutting activities and eventually cutting on lines. Finally, it’s time to start learning how to cut out shapes!
We decided that we needed to come up with a fun, colorful, and engaging way to help kids practice this new skill. This fun (and FREE!) pack of cutting worksheets was just the thing!
Inside this printable pack, you’ll find 10 pages of cutting worksheets with a range of difficulty levels. The pack begins with basic shape cutting (with fun and creative graphics) and moves on to more complex pages where kids have to follow a path with their scissors to complete a maze.
Tips for Using the Cutting Worksheets
Check out the video to see these tips in action!
1 || Print the cutting worksheets on heavier paper or card stock to make them easier to grasp and stabilize while cutting.
2 || Give multiple opportunities for picking scissors up and grasping them the right way by having the child put scissors down in between each cutting task.
3 || Place stickers on each of your child’s thumbs and then refer to them during cutting. Tell your child to practice “thumbs up cutting”, meaning that they can see both of the stickers on their thumbs while using scissors (on the hand that’s stabilizing the paper and on the hand that’s holding the scissors)
4 || Draw a dotted line from the edge of the paper to show your child where to cut into the paper to reach the shape.

Love them! Also fun for kids to make their own mazes, with applying pieces of tape to a paper and then drawing a path to a sticker target at the end. Ripping the tape and getting the stickers off builds pre-cutting skills and the tape adds some resistance and visual cue .Fun in pairs too :)
All these tips are very helpful . Thanks for all your help.
