Catching Fireflies Cutting Practice Puzzles Printable
We haven’t done cutting practice in a while, so today, I have a set of Catching Fireflies Cutting Practice Puzzles for you!
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I first came up with cutting practice puzzles when E kept The issue of having random little bits of paper on the floor has cropped up again in our house – this time from 3.5-year-old N’s personal cutting practice. Unfortunately, he’s not quite ready for cutting the cutting practice puzzles yet, so we’ll just have to continue to clean up the bits of paper for a while. But E still likes to do the cutting and then proudly presents the puzzles to N to put together 🙂
(E was 7 years old. N was 3.5 years old.)
