Scissor Strips

Download and print these scissor strips and then cut them apart. Print the colored strips on white construction paper and print the black and white strips on colored construction paper. A thicker paper like construction paper or lightweight card stock will give your students better success.

Have your students snip the strips while aiming to cut on the lines.
