1.0 out of 5 stars Not for left-handed kids, January 24, 2011

This review is from: Fiskars 94167097 Kids Classic 5-Inch Blunt Tip Scissors, Colors May Vary (Kitchen)

Dont be fooled into thinking that these scissors are truly for left-handed kids. The handles may be molded to fit either hand. But in order to be truly left handed scissors, the blades must be reversed. It's physically impossible to make ambidexterous scissors. Hold the scissors open in front of you, with the blade pointing away from you and one handle in each hand. If the blade on top is coming from your left hand, then they are truly left-handed scissors. If it's on the right, then they simply won't cut well when used left handed. The natural cutting action of the hand will push the blades apart rather than together and the paper will slip between the blades - very frustrating for a preschooler who is learning to use scissors. If you're looking for scissors for your left-handed child, don't waste your money on these!

It says in the product review about that this pair is the most recommended by teachers. They're not kidding either. If you're looking for something that is easier for children to manipulate, especially those in kindergarten and preschool, be SURE to buy these! They hold up so very well, are more comfortable in their hands, and they just work so much better than those cheaper store brands. We've had these for quite a few years and I can't say enough good about them. They even work great when you're sewing and need to cut a thread or two! Highly recommend!

This review is from: Fiskars 94167097 Kids Classic 5-Inch Blunt Tip Scissors, Colors May Vary (Kitchen)

Pros:

- Great quality (construction and details) product, great brand (Fiskar).

- Blunt tip for child's safety

- Not dangerously sharp but cuts perfectly on papers, strings, even cardboard. Blades are perfectly aligned. Actually useful for many household chores.

- Rust resistant

- Handles are well suited for little hands

Cons:

- A little pricy (but you can find it on sale for 99 cents a piece at certain times. If you do, grab a couple or more)
