This is an easy way to start a day of cutting practice for a cheery and sunny challenge!
Count, Cut & Paste
Next, here’s a practice page that combines counting with cutting. Kids follow the dotted lines to cut out mini flashcards of numbers 1 to 5. Then, they count how many summer objects are in each box on the other side of the page and match the correct number accordingly.

Summer is not complete without sweet, brightly colored fruits, and this page features all-time favorites, including pineapple, strawberry, and orange.
In this printable, kids will cut one-half of each fruit and paste them on the corresponding boxes to complete the images. This gives their problem-solving skills a juicy boost!
Summertime Cut Along The Lines
Practicing cutting different lines is like giving kids a little workout for their hands and wrists—plus, it’s super fun! When kids cut along straight, zigzag, or wavy lines, they build hand strength, coordination, and focus.
It’s a great way for them to get comfy with scissors and have more confidence in their cutting skills.
