Kids are irresistibly drawn to scissors so naturally they'll love this book to pieces.

In all, there are 13 projects, with fully illustrated instructions so simple even a parent could follow them. Toss in two pairs of brightly colored, kid-friendly scissors (one straight-edged, one snaggletooth) and 140 pieces of pre-cut tape and you've got a craft book thats a cut above the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing rainy day or travel entertainment, July 12, 2006

This review is from: The Super Scissors Book (Chicken Socks) (Spiral-bound)

I bought this for my craft-loving four year old before a vacation. She loved it so much that the first two days of our stay on a farm, she hardly went outside. She was too busy cutting out the parts to make daisy chains, finger-puppets, curly snakes, paper pets, masks etc. When she first asked me for help with gluing the parts for the daisy chain I had the sudden horrible thought that I hadn't brought tape or glue. Happily, flipping through the book I discovered at the back 100 pieces of precut tape ready to peel off and perfect for 4-year-old fingers. After that she worked completely independently and did most of the projects in the book as well as many of her own including paper dolls with daisy chain legs and arms etc. (There is lots of extra tape). She was completely entertained with this activity and the total use was 3 days (now only shreds remain). I recommend this book 100% to any craft loving four-year-old and have already bought one as a present for my daughter's best friend.

Caveat: If you want to bring this as a carry-on item you will need to cut the bag holding the scissors open first (it can only be opened with something sharp, which you won't have with you by the time the airline people take away your nail scissors!) Also, the security people examined these child-safe scissors very carefully before allowing us to take them on. They are completely blunt so they let me keep them. I would hope that all agents would be that reasonable...

We purchased this book for our four-year-old daughter for Christmas based on the glowing reviews on this site. They were right on target. Our daughter set aside her other Christmas presents and focused on this book for two DAYS (not minutes or hours). We had also bought a family game to play that was only appropriate for our older daughter and the 4-year-old was happy as a clam cutting away next to us while we played. She was able to do most of the activities completely independently, with just a little of my reading over her shoulder for a few instructions on a few tasks. Wonderful product.

I have a 4 year old daughter that I bought this book for. She is already really good with a pair of scissors, but she still really enjoyed the activites in this book. She really dives into new things like this so it took her about a day to go through everything. She had a lot of fun with it and I would defnitely recommend it for a rainy day activity or for a child that might be visiting.
