Give children a fun, hands-on way to build scissor confidence and spark creativity with “Snip & Color!” Each black-and-white page features a playful graphic on one end and dotted lines—straight, zigzag, or wavy—on the other. Children can color the image, trace the dotted paths if desired, then snip along the lines to strengthen their fine motor skills.

What’s Inside

Large Format
Three strips per page, each with a themed illustration and dotted cutting line. Perfect for focused, individual cutting practice.

Small Format
Six mini-strips per page—ideal for quick skill-building sessions or for sending home with families.

Open-Ended Version
No dotted lines here! Students can draw their own patterns and create personalized cutting challenges.

How to Use

1. Print & Color
   Provide crayons, markers, or pencils so children can decorate the graphics however they like.

2. Trace the Dotted Lines (Optional)
   For added control, encourage kids to trace the lines first to get a feel for the pattern.

3. Cut Along the Paths
   Guide children as they carefully snip along the lines—reinforcing proper scissor grip and technique.

4. Get Creative
   Use the open-ended version to let children draw and snip their own designs, boosting self-expression and confidence.
