Fiskars 5" Blunt-Tip Scissors for Kids 4+ - Scissors for School or Crafting - Back to School Supplies - Color May Vary

I bought these for my four-year-old grandson. This was the third pair of scissors I tried with him, and they helped him learn to enjoy activities involving scissors.Their ergonomic design gently guides his hand into the proper position. The lower handle loop is pretty large on these scissors. That lets my grandson use all his fingers to control the scissors. This makes a huge difference for a young child who has not practiced enough to develop strength in the muscles needed for scissor action and who is still developing fine motor skills. I have observed his hand muscles getting stronger as he keeps practicing, but he didn't want to practice when he had scissors with two identical handle loops. Identical handle loops made cutting a real struggle for him and confused him about how to properly hold the scissors; these problems vanished with the kids' Fiskars. Crafts involving scissors are now among his favorite things to do.Another advantage to the relatively large handles led to me purchasing a second pair soon after the first pair arrived. Although they are not as comfortable for adults as adult-sized scissors, both my husband and I are able to use these kids' Fiskars, so we are able to do scissors projects with our grandson. My own adult scissors are super, super sharp, and I don't want them anywhere around a preschooler, plus I don't want to dull them cutting paper, so I'm glad our adult-sized fingers can fit into the handles of these children's scissors.Be advised that although these kids' Fiskars can be ordered with blunt tips to increase safety, the blades themselves are sharper than most children's scissors, though the blades are specially angled to increase safety. Although I feel confident in the safety of letting my grandson keep his other style of children's scissors in his own desk drawer, these Fiskars scissors live in the family project drawer and are only used with adult supervision. Because they are sharp enough to be effective, they are less frustrating to use than most other children's scissors. The potential downside is that this also gives them the power to cut cloth or skin or hair if you work at it, although we have never had that happen in the eight months these two pair of kids' Fiskars have been in our home. Know your child and supervise him or her until your child develops the maturity and wisdom to use these scissors responsibly. The description recommends ages four and up, but, as I said, know your child.I have noticed that now my grandson ALWAYS comes to me or Grandpa and asks for supervision, rather than using either of the less effective scissors he is allowed to keep in his own desk drawer. Its probably time to do a little decluttering and move the less effective scissors out of our lives. Our two pairs of blunt tip Fiskars get more use by both kids and adults than any other scissors in our household. Highly recommend, but supervise young children.

My 3.75 year old is obsessed with cutting and making things. These are the ONLY kid sized sissors that I have found that actually cut well. She uses them constantly for paper and felt and the same pair has stayed sharp for over 6 months. We finally got a second pair as a backup even though her originals still work great.

I bought these because my daughter’s only needs to work on mark in 3 year old preschool was cutting with scissors , which is understandable because we never let her use them at home yet (or markers lol) and school just introduced them. So I purchased these because Fiskars scissors are the best and these don’t disappoint ether. For a child’s scissors these cut straight and with little effort and are still kid safe, my daughter loves the purple handles. They are light years better than the usual stamped steel cheapys. Turns out they are the same as her school uses. So now she can practice and create at home too. I wish I had had them back in preschool

Great little scissors. I bought these for my 4 year old to use and she seems to like them. Great price, got here quickly and they work great. I really like how the ends aren't sharp, they are rounded so it makes me feel better about my little one using them. Plus they are so little and cute :)

So this is a case of not reading the fine print I know LOL but as you can see this scissors pictured are pink.If they had pictured multiple scissors then I would have been more inclined to note in the description that the color you receive may vary but I didn't unfortunately. We were really excited about getting the pink scissors and we got blue ones. Nevertheless they are cute little scissors and they work decently for the simple things like paper and such.My only suggestion is to put multiple colors in the main first image. I wouldn't recommend these for a kiddo older than say 7?Hope this helps!

These Fiskars scissors are the best for little fingers and boy, do they work well! No more frustrating, paper crumpling with child-safe scissors that just don’t cut-it. I found these to offer a smooth, easy to operate up and down motion and love the bright, happy color choice. Five stars all the way!!!

Love , sharp and good fit for my snipping projects

These are great. I bought them to trim my dogs hair ( Schnauzer). They have the rounded ends so I can’t accidentally poke her and they are small enough to be accurate about the hairs I cut. They are also sharp blades so they cut just like regular scissors. Wonderful product!
