About this resource
Description
Cutting on a straight line is one of the first scissor skills young children learn, and squares are the perfect shape to start with. This square cut outs activity gives children big, bold squares to color, decorate, and cut out, then turns their work into a book or a paper quilt. The thick black lines are easy to see and easy to follow, so even the youngest students can cut with confidence.
The pack has three cut-out pages. The Big Squares page holds four large blank squares for decorating and bulletin boards. The Square Book page has a cover square with a title and a name line, plus three squares with room to draw a picture and write a word, so children can staple their own little book. The Mosaic Squares page holds twelve small squares to color in patterns and glue onto paper as a quilt. A colorful cover and a How to Use page with simple steps make the square cut outs activity easy to run in class or at home.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this preschool art activity during a shapes unit, at an art center, or as a calm morning task. Hang the big squares on a bulletin board as a class quilt, or ask children to make a color pattern with the small squares. Older students can write a short sentence on each book page and read their square book to a partner.
