Fall Cutting Activities for Kids with Autism

These Fall cutting activities for kids with autism are perfect for your home program or classroom activities. Learning to cut, requires strong fine motor skills. The activities listed below, will also help your child build their hand strength and fine motor skills. I have listed to tools you need, and perfect activities, for building your child’s cutting skills below.

Helpful Tools for these Fall Cutting Activities for Kids with Autism

(We have included Amazon affiliate links for your convenience. You can read our disclosures here.)

These are the tools I use to build fine motor skills, hand strength and cutting skills in my autism classrooms and the home programs I run for autistic learners.

I have used these Fiskar’s pre-school training scissors for years in my practice. They are simple and effective to use when first learning to cut.

I swear by this therapy putty kit! When you purchase the therapy kit, you receive 4 containers of therapy putty, each one provides a different level of resistance so that you can upgrade as your child’s hands strengthen. Brilliant.

We also use these occupational therapy hand strengthening balls regularly at my autism center. They are effective in building hand strength and therefore, helping your child develop the strength necessary to successfully build fine motor skills.

I love this Learning Resources Helping Hands Fine Motor Skills Toolkit. These tools are so much fun and pretty much every child who steps through the doors of my learning center, uses them. You can include them as part of a sensory activity, use them as part of a sensory box or as learning tools during a sensory break.

Make it into a game! Build fine motor skills while playing this fun Sneaky Snacks Squirrel Boardgame. (Probably the most played game at my autism center, the kids absolutely LOVE this game!)
