Every child is a creative genius, and the only limit to their self-expression should be their own wildest imaginations. Fiskars Training Scissors are thoughtfully designed for small hands and creative minds, with safe, plastic-covered blades and a special training lever to help children learn fundamental scissors skills. When the training lever is engaged, the scissors open automatically, allowing preschoolers to focus on closing the blades as they learn how to cut through paper. Once this skill has been mastered, the training lever can be flipped up for a more traditional open-and-close, "big kid" cutting action. Plastic-covered metal blades cut paper, while blunt tips provide added safety. Wide handle loops are designed for younger children, ensuring a comfortable, easy grip, no matter how they hold the scissors. An optimized opening angle also helps kids open blades without losing their grip for improved control. These scissors are ideal for preschoolers three and up, because every creative genius deserves the right scissors at the right age to express themselves.
