Hair Cutting Skills Sheets are a fun way to help kids improve their scissor skills! I created these printables to make cutting practice more enjoyable and interactive.
The sheets feature cute cartoon faces with various hairstyles, perfect for pretend play in a mini salon. Kids can snip along the dotted lines, giving each character a new look.
These activities are great for preschoolers and early elementary students learning to use scissors safely and effectively.

What is the learning benefit of these Hair Cutting Skills Sheets?
These free printables offer so much more than just scissor practice. They’re a powerhouse of learning benefits!
First off, they’re great for boosting fine motor skills. As kids carefully cut along the lines, they strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers.
Hand-eye coordination gets a big boost, too. Following those dotted lines takes focus and precision. These skills come in handy for writing, drawing, and even sports!
The sheets also encourage creativity. Kids can decide how to style each “customer’s” hair. This freedom helps them think outside the box and make their own choices.
Plus, the salon theme introduces new words related to hairstyling. It’s a sneaky way to build vocabulary while having fun!

What it includes:
You’ll love these cutting pages because they’re jam-packed with fun stuff for your little ones. You’ll get ten different sheets with cartoon faces and fabulous hairstyles.
At the top of every page, there’s a cute “Hair Salon” sign with a little scissors icon. It makes kids feel like they’re running their salon! The pages have pretty borders, too. They look just like fancy salon mirrors.
I included a diverse cast of “customers” with various hairstyles on these sheets. I’ve got everything from curly to straight, short to long. Each one is different to cut. It keeps things interesting for the kids and reminds them that everyone is beautiful!
The cutting lines are also super easy to see and follow. I used dotted lines, perfect for little hands just learning to use scissors. Your kids will love practicing their cutting skills with these printables!
Fun ways to use this printable:
These scissor activity sheets are super versatile! I love how they get kids’ imaginations going.
Here are some of my favorite ways to use them:
Salon Day Role Play
Turn your living room into a hair salon! Print out the cutting sheets and let the kids take turns being the stylist and customer. Grab some plastic scissors and combs, and add a few old hair clips.
This game is great for social skills. Kids learn to take turns and talk to each other as they play. It’s also a fun way to talk about different jobs. You could even add some play money and have them practice simple math as they “pay” for their haircuts!
Create-a-Character
Cut out the different hairstyles and let kids mix and match them on blank face templates. This way, they can create all sorts of funny and unique characters.
This activity is perfect for getting creative juices flowing. Kids can even draw their faces and hairstyles. It’s a great chance to talk about how everyone looks different, which makes us unique!
Scissor Skills Obstacle Course
Set up a cutting station with the printables, but add some extra challenges. Use painter’s tape to create lines on the table that kids must follow with scissors. Or have them cut out shapes from construction paper while working on the hairstyles.
This activity turns scissor practice into a fun game. Kids can time themselves or race against siblings. It’s a great way to build confidence with scissors while keeping things exciting and new.
