Mouse Thread Cutting

Students cut along dotted “thread” lines to help a mouse build its nest. The cutting paths vary from zigzags to straight and angled lines, giving practice with multiple cutting motions. Learners develop scissor control as they track the lines and manage the tight directional changes. This worksheet encourages steady cutting, patience, and coordination between both hands. The multiple thread lines provide repeated practice for skill reinforcement. The mouse theme adds a playful sense of purpose to the exercise.
