Cutting a Spiral
Cutting a spiral takes concentration but it is fun - especially if you print this out using coloured paper or card. Encourage the children to cut very carefully for a perfect spiral...
Cutting Shapes
Children can practise their cutting skills while also learning the names of various simple shapes. And of course once the shapes are cut out, they will want to be stuck onto something else ...

Practice cutting circles with these printables. Use the coloured sheet for cutting and sticking and the black and white for colouring in before cutting out - or perhaps for printing onto different colours of paper and card.
