Have you ever had a young child give themselves a crazy haircut?
This printable pack offers a series of fun scissor activities that make practice easy and without the fallout of chunks of actual hair missing from your preschooler’s head!
Each sheet features cartoon characters with different hairstyles, inviting children to cut along dotted lines and experiment with styling, which encourages them to explore their creativity. The sheets are designed to give kids a sense of working in their own salon, complete with a “Hair Salon” sign and a variety of hairstyles that keep the activities fresh and interesting.
This pack includes ten distinct sheets, each displaying a unique character with a different hairstyle. Children are prompted to cut along dotted lines, which helps them improve fine motor skills as they snip away. With diverse cartoon faces to cut, the worksheets also introduce kids to various hairstyles, from curly to straight and short to long, reminding them that everyone’s appearance is special in its own way. These cutting activities not only refine scissor skills but also strengthen hand-eye coordination and build small muscle strength needed for future writing and drawing tasks.
One way to use these printables is by creating a “Salon Day” at home, turning your space into a pretend salon where kids can play as both stylist and customer. With toy combs, plastic scissors, and maybe some old hair clips, children can practice social skills like taking turns and communicating with one another. Adding play money can further enhance the experience, allowing them to practice simple math as they “pay” for their haircuts. This type of role-play brings an element of fun and helps kids understand different jobs in a hands-on, interactive way.
Kids can also cut out the hairstyles to mix and match them on blank face templates, letting them design their own characters. This creative exercise encourages kids to think outside the box, and it can be a great chance to discuss diversity and individuality, highlighting how each person is unique.
