Developing cutting skills (Stages 1–3) is one of a series of two books created by occupational therapists and teachers to support the development of cutting skills in children between the ages of 3 and 6. The activities target specific skills that will enable children to develop the coordination and motor skills required for cutting. Multiple opportunities to rehearse cutting skills are provided through simple, easy-to-use worksheets with clear instructions. The series outlines developmental milestones which can be useful for planning, assessment and creating individual education plans.
Developing cutting skills is part of a holistic approach to promoting a comprehensive foundation for academic success.
