Valentine’s Day Heart Cut Out Cutting Practice

Looking for an easy, skill-building Valentine’s Day cutting practice activity? These heart cut out templates give kids meaningful scissor practice using small, medium, and large heart cutting templates designed just for preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, and OT.

Kids fold, cut along simple curved lines, and open their paper to reveal heart shapes—turning cutting practice into a hands-on activity that builds confidence and fine motor strength.
