Description
How to Use Arrow Cut Outs
This arrow cut outs activity gives preschool through 3rd grade students big, simple arrow shapes to color, decorate and cut out. Arrows are great for scissor practice because every edge is a straight line, and the point gives children a clear corner to turn. The arrows also show direction and order, so they are a natural way to talk about what comes first and what comes next.
Using the Activity
Children start with three big arrows to decorate for a bulletin board or a door display. Next, they make a My Day timeline book: a cover arrow, then a morning arrow, an afternoon arrow and a night arrow, each with space to draw and a sentence starter to finish. Last, twelve small arrows can be lined up on the floor to make a path for a toy car to follow. Use the arrow cut outs activity in an art center, a social studies lesson on timelines, or a fine motor station.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with directions, materials, and setup
- Big Arrows page (3 arrows)
- My Day Timeline Book (4 arrows on 2 pages)
- Little Arrows page (12 arrows)
3 Reasons This Activity Helps Kids
First, cutting along long straight lines and sharp points builds scissor control and hand strength. Second, the timeline book helps children put the parts of their day in order, an early step toward reading and making timelines. Third, decorating each arrow invites creativity, and every child’s work looks different.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Hang the big arrows in the hallway to point the way to the library or the lunchroom. Ask children to share their timeline books and tell what they do in the morning, the afternoon and at night. At home, lay the little arrows on the floor and let your child drive a toy car along the path. This preschool art activity also works well for older students who can add more detail to their timelines.
