The next activity that we will be working on is our tracing and cutting skills. Tracing and cutting skills help us with our visual skills, visual motor skills and bilateral coordination! Below is an attached printable resource you can print to use at home to practice these skills. First, have your child trace on the dotted lines. Next, have them use scissors to cut along the dotted line/line that they traced. Encourage your child to trace and cut slowly and accurately! If the shapes included are too simple, feel free to draw a shape that is more complex for your child to cut, example: trace and cut out the shape of their hand, draw a cloud and have the child cut the cloud, etc. While cutting, please encourage use of the child to use their “helper hand” which is the opposite hand of the hand holding the scissors. The “helper hand” will be used to stabilize the paper and rotate the paper while the child cuts on the line on the paper. Please send me an email if you would like additional resources for tracing/cutting or additional resources to use at home. Stay safe families!
