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!

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)

I purchased these scissors for my 3 year old and he loves them. They fit comfortably in either hand and cut very smoothly. No complaints.

I've got a 3 and 4 yr old and they love these scissors. My only flaw was in ordering only 2. We've already lost a pair. Now they fight over the last remaining one! But back to the review, they are high quality, easy to use, and the tip is round so they aren't stabbing each other. In other words, if you need scissors for kids just buy them and quit reading reviews already.

The tip is not pointy, but the blades are nearly as sharp as the normal scissors. The packaging says it's for 4 year old kids and above, which is probably the age when they are more aware of the danger. Don't buy it for younger kids, or as in my case, if the kid has a sibling smaller than 4.

Cutting works well and the handle fits the kid's hand well too.

These are Fiskars so you expect sharp quality that cuts without binding. That's what you get of course. They cut reliably and take the frustration out that comes with the cheap stamped scissors that are riveted together. They're blunt nozed and short.

Great for trimming the occasional matted hair from a long haired dog. It's easy to poke an uncooperative dog with sharp pointed or long scissors. These are perfect as well as sharp and durable.

I bought these for my 5 year old who was having trouble at school cutting since he is left handed and they only had right handed scissors. They are as they state..left handed children's scissors.

Nice pair of scissors for arts and crafts activities for my children. They scissors blades are not sharp so I don't need to worry about them hurting themselves. Yet the scissors cut paper well. Can't be used for anything else really though.

Great for little ones. They cut when you need them to. I bought them as a 2nd pair so my daughter would have some at home for school projects. Works like a charm.
