Cut, Match and Paste Shapes Printable

Cut and paste activities are important for kids because they help them to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity. They also help kids to learn about shapes, colors, and textures.

Here are some of the benefits of cut and paste activities for kids:

  • Fine motor skills: Cut and paste activities require kids to use their hands to cut and paste paper. This helps to develop their fine motor skills, which are important for tasks such as writing and using scissors.
  • Hand-eye coordination: Cut and paste activities also require kids to use their eyes and hands together. This helps to improve their hand-eye coordination, which is important for tasks such as catching a ball and riding a bike.
  • Creativity: Cut and paste activities allow kids to be creative. They can use their imagination to create different shapes and patterns. This helps to develop their creativity and imagination.
  • Shapes, colors, and textures: Cut and paste activities can help kids to learn about shapes, colors, and textures. They can use different shapes and colors of paper to create their pictures. They can also use different textures of paper, such as sandpaper and tissue paper.

Back to School Cutting Practice for Fine Motor Skill Development (Free Downloads)

Learning to cut with scissors helps a child learn to do so much more than just cut! It helps build hand strength by opening and closing the scissors which in turn helps children build their fine motor skills. The small muscles in their hands are important and help our little ones draw, brush their teeth, get dressed, and use cutlery. There are also high chances of 4/5 year old who uses scissors to have nice and legible handwriting. Cutting and writing use the same skills, and practice makes better.

When shopping for scissors try to match the size of the scissors as close to your child’s hand size as possible. Pick scissors with a blunt point, but that are sharp enough to cut and not just fold the paper.

Before your little one starts learning to use scissors have the safety talk and purpose of scissors talk. I suggest doing a review each time before you give them scissors to practice or craft. It will seem like too much, but they need lots of reminding before they remember safety and purpose of scissors.

Easter Before and After Letter Practice

Are you looking for practice for alphabetical order without the traditional putting words into alphabetical order? This practice sheet would be great for your students. The students write the letter that comes before and after the letter shown for each question. 


You can print and have students write directly on the sheet or you can print and place it in a dry-erase pocket so you can print once and use it many times. 
 
You could also use magnet letters with this sheet by laminating the sheet and then asking students to place the letter that goes before and after! Now you can use the printable over and over, plus kids are having a hands-on experience.

When Should You Teach Your Child to Identify Shapes and Colors (Plus Free Resources)

free printables for toddlers with shapes
Parents often wonder when they should begin working on different concepts with their children, like shapes and colors. Most children will be ready to start learning their shapes and colors when they are 18 months old. The most important advice I can provide parents is that every child is different, and some children may need until two years old to learn their shapes and colors.
The key to teaching your child shapes and colors is to start during play. When you are building with blocks or playdough, talk about the color. For example, “I will put the yellow block at the top” or “I like how you made the cat out of the pink playdough.” Then move into asking them what color or shape things are around the house and while you are out of the house.
Then you can look to start using printables like the one below. There are different ways you can use the printables after you have printed them.
  • Lay them out and ask your child to pick any card they’d like to tell you what the color or shape is.
  • Play goldfish
  • Match the shape to the word of the shape
  • Hide them around the house and tell your child if they find all the cards and tell you what they are when they find them then, they will earn a surprise!
To help the cards last longer, laminate the cards. The laminator I use at home can be found here.
