How to use this worksheet
- 1
Use child-safe scissors and show the "thumb on top" grip. Cutting a straight line is the first goal; curves come later.
- 2
Short crayons encourage a better grip than long ones — snap a crayon in half for tracing sheets.
- 3
Let your child trace a shape with a finger first, then with a crayon, then with a pencil.
