Hi Deborah,
It would be difficult to work with a full class of third graders using
linoleum cutters. I advise against it. It is challenge enough for my fifth
graders. I use the smooth foam trays that are used for meat/veggies in the
supermarket and the students can easily press in designs with large nails or
blunt needles. We use tracing paper to aid in reversing the design.

Would it be appropriate for 3rd grade to use linoleum cutters
with soft-cut carving material?
Thanks,
Deborah ---
