Color Cut Glue Scissor Practice for Fall

Color Cut Glue Scissor Practice for Fall

Fall is certainly in the air here.  The apples are starting to get picked, a few leaves are falling and pumpkins will be right around the corner. Here are three black and white activity pages to practice coloring, cutting out simple shapes, planning out where to glue the pieces (the trickiest part) and then paste the shapes together to create the Fall themed pictures: apple tree, pumpkin, and apple.  Just print and it is all set to go.

This activity encourages:

• scissor skills practice
• eye hand coordination
• bilateral coordination
• motor planning
• sequencing
