What educators are saying

My students LOVED this one. I use it at the beginning of the school year as a center so students can practice their cutting skills.
I’m quite fond of this resources and so had my children. Printing them in different colours definitely attracted heaps of engagement and attention. They are getting confident with their scissors skill.

Description

This scissor skills busy box is a great way to practice cutting skills and fine motor skills. The printable cutting box activity includes straight, wavy, and zig-zag lines as well as shapes. Strips include versions for left hand and right hand, as well as both long and short strips. I recommend printing each design on a different colored paper and keep your strips in a plastic organizing box (further details below). Additionally, students can stick the completed strips and shapes on a piece of paper to create a fun picture.
