Scissor Skills Animal Puppets

A fun activity for practising scissor skills, developing fine motor skills and encouraging imaginative play!
  • Step 1Print out the templates provided onto copy or cover paper.
  • Step 2Decorate your animals using markers or pencils.
  • Step 3Now’s the time to practice your scissor skills! Cut along the black dashed lines. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. These cuts will also create whiskers for your cat and legs for both animals. The tails are separate pieces, which you will also need to cut out.
  • Step 4To create your puppets, use sticky tape or glue to attach the tail and a popstick or paper straw to the back of each animal. Allow to dry if needed. Your Animal Scissor Skill Puppets are now ready to use!
