The kids will draw out the shapes they want cut out and then I have a foam cutting tool that is essentially a long metal needle that heats up. I will using this tool but it slices through the foam very easily. The one I bought was $13 on amazon.

Teach the kids to draw their shapes on the edges of the styrofoam so that you don't end up with a lot of waste and I had a bin of scrap for kids who needed smaller pieces.
