Practice cutting around four large geometric outlines in separate zones.

A four-zone cutting worksheet that develops control through a triangle, circle, square, and hexagon. Safety: Use age-appropriate, round-tip child scissors only under the direct supervision of a parent, teacher, or responsible adult.

Basic Shapes introduces closed-contour cutting with four large geometric forms, each isolated in an equal practice zone. The set balances straight edges, corners, and one continuous curve without crowding the page.

Skills Developed
- Scissor control - opening, closing, and moving forward steadily
- Fine motor control - coordinating both hands during cutting
- Hand-eye coordination - keeping the scissors aligned with the dashed path
