Build scissor skills and fine motor control throughout the year with these Seasonal Cutting Strips for preschool and kindergarten. Children cut along straight, curved, wavy, zigzag and stepped paths to reach each seasonal picture.
Organized from January through December, these seasonal cutting strips provide engaging practice for fine motor centers, morning tubs, task boxes, occupational therapy activities and early-finisher work.
