Santa's Beard Scissor Skills

 

Get your scissors ready - Santa needs a beard trim! Combine Christmas fun with cutting practice with our fun activity pages. Each of the 45 beard-trimming pages give students different line styles to cut with increasing complexity

Perfect for:

• kindergarten and preschool learners
• remediation with students who are challenged by cutting
• fine motor development
• printing on paper or thin card (card will offer additional support)

Students will:

• cut from the top edge down to the circle
• use the solid thick line for visual support
• move from standard, evenly spaced straight lines through wavy lines, zig zag lines to wavy lines of varying length
• curl each strand around a pencil to make the beards curly

Tip: tape the top corners down to the table with washi tape for extra stability!

By curling each strand around a pencil, students will get additional fine motor development and learn a great paper-craft technique to use in their own creative projects.

When students have finished the cutting activity they can also color, cut and glue the page into a bright backing paper for a fun classroom display of Santa's curly beards.
