Garden Cut, Paste, and Color Page

My preschooler kept wanting in on his little sibling’s gardening trays, so I put together this garden cut, paste, and color page just for him. It is a simple way to work on scissor skills with a spring theme.

Since my preschooler has really been enjoying my toddler’s gardening toddler trays I put together some gardening activities for preschoolers. If you have a preschooler this a great way to introduce them to gardening, but also give them a way to study and learn.

Discover how to use this garden activity to teach toddlers how to cut and paste

This fun color, cut, and paste page is built off of the idea that there are different vegetables in each row. It is perfect for preschool, but honestly, it is simple enough that an older toddler could also complete it.  To complete the page, just cut out each of the vegetables (with the dotted lines) at the bottom of the page.

Then, glue the vegetables into the correct row. There is empty space in different places in each row to make it just a bit more challenging.

If the printable is printed in black and white, have your child color the whole paper once they vegetables are cut and pasted into the right row.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can toddlers start cutting?

Most toddlers can start with safety scissors and simple snipping around 2 1/2 to 3 years old, with close supervision.

Do I need to laminate the printables?

Laminating is not required, but it makes printables last much longer with repeated use, especially if you want to reuse them.

What if my toddler would rather just glue?

Let them. Gluing builds fine motor skills too. You can do the cutting and let your toddler handle the pasting, then build up to cutting as they are ready.
