Sheep Grass Cutting

This hands-on worksheet helps students in Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten build essential fine motor and early learning skills by cutting along dotted vertical and zigzag lines to “feed” a sheep. Through guided scissor use, line tracking, hand strength, and bilateral coordination, learners practice controlled movements that support both cutting accuracy and early pre-writing development in a fun, motivating context.

Learning Goals

• Fine Motor Skills (Early Childhood) – Strengthen scissor control, hand strength, and finger coordination
• Bilateral Coordination – Practice using both hands together to stabilize paper and cut accurately
• Visual Motor Integration – Follow guided vertical and zigzag paths with precision
• Pre-Writing Foundations – Reinforce line tracking skills that support future handwriting

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to support early childhood scissor-skill development
• Progressive Line Styles – Includes straight and zigzag cuts to build skill variety
• Engaging Theme – Feeding the sheep adds purpose and motivation to cutting practice
• Flexible Use – Ideal for centers, OT support, fine motor stations, RTI, or homeschool lessons
• Low Prep – Simple print-and-go worksheet using basic classroom materials

This printable scissor skills worksheet helps young learners develop precision, coordination, and confidence with cutting tasks. By following narrow dotted lines, students strengthen visual motor control, bilateral hand use, and fine motor endurance that transfer directly to classroom readiness. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this worksheet provides a fun and effective way to build foundational scissor and motor skills through purposeful practice.
