Thanksgiving Worksheets – Cutting

Did you know that young children *need* scissor practice? Under proper supervision, and with the right pair of scissors, your preschooler or kindergartener really can learn to cut safely. As a matter of fact, it is a vital part of their learning and development. Scissor cutting helps build fine motor skills, muscle strength in the hands, and hand-to-eye coordination. Consistent scissor practice will help your kids be able to use scissors handily for projects throughout elementary school and — how many of use still use scissors as adults? I’d venture to guess we all do! Scissor skill is not only beneficial in the short term, it is a necessary skill to have.

Thanksgiving Printable Pack – Visual Spatial Skills

Developing visual spatial skills is another vital part of learning and development for your child. Asking them to track where they are at as they count, or search through a series of images to find those that match, increases visual spatial recognition and other visual skills that all kids need for reading success in early elementary school years. Improving those skills now will give your child an advantage as they enter the formal school years. It is actually good for brain development.

Use our Thanksgiving Worksheets Preschool Set to Practice Verbal Skills

As you work through our Thanksgiving Worksheets Preschool set, don’t forget to practice verbal skills with your child too! Ask lots of leading questions and get your child talking. Ask your child to tell you a story about the children on the number line, or the leaves falling, or ask your child to describe the pie. Children aren’t born knowing how to use descriptive language. By asking them to describe what they see, they begin to learn how to expand their vocabulary. At first, you’ll need to model this for your child using words they will understand.

Have your child describe the color, shape, size and purpose of each thing they see. Model by speaking in complete sentences. “I see a yellow cup. How many yellow cups do you see?” Preschool children learning to communicate, so take every opportunity to practice language skills with your child.
