Tiger Stripe Cutting

This worksheet helps students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and early Grade 1 strengthen fine motor control and task sequencing through a creative cutting-and-pasting activity. By cutting out small triangle and stripe shapes and gluing them onto a tiger, learners practice straight and diagonal cutting, visual-motor integration, and spatial planning while staying engaged with a fun animal theme.

Learning Goals

• Precision Cutting (Fine Motor Skills) – Students cut small, angular shapes that require careful control and accuracy.
• Straight & Diagonal Scissor Control – Learners practice maintaining smooth cuts along straight edges and angled lines.
• Visual-Motor Integration – Children match cut shapes to appropriate placement areas on the tiger’s body.
• Multi-Step Task Completion – Students follow a sequence of actions, building focus and task endurance.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to support progressive scissor-skill development.
• Challenging but Engaging – Small shapes provide an appropriate challenge for developing fine motor strength.
• Creative Assembly Element – Gluing stripes encourages planning, creativity, and ownership of the finished project.
• Flexible Classroom Use – Ideal for fine motor centers, art integration, OT support, or homeschool activities.
• Low-Prep Format – Print-and-go worksheet requires only scissors and glue.

This printable tiger stripe cutting worksheet helps students build confidence with precision cutting, spatial reasoning, and multi-step task execution. By navigating angular shapes and assembling a completed craft, learners strengthen essential fine motor and planning skills needed for writing, classroom projects, and independence. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this activity delivers meaningful, age-appropriate practice through an engaging hands-on experience.
