Christmas Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Have your child cut out each Christmas shape along its printed outline, working through the moon, snowman, gifts, and trees one at a time. Show them the large circle outline on the main page, and explain that it represents the night sky or scene they're building. Let them arrange the pieces inside the circle however they like before gluing, moving pieces around until they're happy with the layout. Once satisfied, they can glue each piece down and add extra details with a pencil or crayons, like stars or snowflakes.
