Santa Beard Cutting Practice (free printable)

Looking for a fine motor skills activity for December? Cutting Santa’s beard is a great way for little hands to practice cutting skills this holiday season.

Trim Santa’s beard with these free beard-trimming pages. This Christmas activity will be a big hit with Preschool aged or Kindergarten students and will give them plenty of practice tracing or cutting lines.

Strengthen hand-eye coordination by tracing the dotted lines. Or have your child cut along each line. Young children will have so much fun with these different beard haircuts. They are the perfect addition to a classroom, homeschool curriculum, or even a fun at home activity during Christmas break.

Print the pages onto card stock or construction paper. The thicker paper is easiest to hold and cut for young learners.

 

The Santa printable pages include:

• curvy lines
• zig zag lines
• long lines
• short lines
• straight lines

 

There is even a free printable worksheet that has a blank beard. This allows you to add different line styles that aren’t already featured. Or it can be a simpler cutting activity by offering a blank page without lines to follow. This is great for introducing and teaching scissors skills in a super fun way.
