Cutting and Collaging



Cutting builds the muscles in the hands and helps children develop their fine motor skills.
Below are some lines and patterns that are often used in Montessori classrooms to help children develop prewriting skills.


Cutting theses patterns will help children with their handwriting.



The shapes and lines mimic the shape of letters.




If you don't want to draw your own patterns their are several free printable ones online.

Collect cuttings into a sensory bin. The children can continue to cut and tear the paper.
Tearing is also a great activity for fine and gross motor development.


When you are ready, glue the scraps onto a larger sheet of paper or cardboard to turn them into a beautiful collage!
