About this printable

This worksheet features three thick, black, curved lines that are easy to follow. Each line has a pair of scissors at the beginning and a dot at the end, guiding the user. The open design makes it simple for young children to focus on the cutting path without distraction. It is suitable for preschoolers and early elementary aged children.

This page is ideal for practicing scissor control and hand strength. Children can carefully cut along each curved line from the scissors icon to the dot. It's a great activity for occupational therapy sessions, classroom fine motor centers, or as a fun home practice exercise to build confidence with scissors.

Questions about this printable

Is there a catch with this free download? ▾

None. There is no signup wall and no trial: the page you print is the page you see, without a watermark. Ads around the page are what keep it free.

What paper size does it print on? ▾

The file is laid out for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and prints just as cleanly on A4 — turn on "Fit to page" in your print dialog and it scales to about 97%, which nobody can see by eye.

Can I print it more than once? ▾

As many times as you like. Plain copy paper is all it needs. If you use the same sheet daily, slip it into a plastic wallet and write on it with a dry-wipe marker — one printed page then lasts weeks.

Can I use it in my classroom? ▾

Yes. Teachers, homeschool parents, childminders and libraries may print unlimited copies for their own children at no cost and with no permission needed. The only thing you may not do is sell it, sell prints of it, or pass the file itself around — share a link to this page instead.

Is there more like this? ▾

This page is part of 51 Free Occupational Therapy Fine Motor Worksheets, which has 51 printables in it. You can take them one at a time, or use the "Download all" button on the set's page to get every page in one go.

Can I change it? ▾

This one is a true vector PDF — every line is a shape and the text is still live text, so it opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity or Canva and can be edited. That is for your own use: the licence does not allow reselling it, edited or not.
