Baker Ross Ltd Maped Kidicut Safety Scissors, Kids, 4.75 Inch, Blunt Tip, Right & Left Handed (037800)

I bought these (came green and white cute for either boy or girl) for my grandchildren age 2 girl and age 1 boy. She didn’t know she was getting scissors and hasn’t asked to use them before but she is definitely ready and when it said 2 I was okay — here we go! She took instruction that these are her first scissors and she has to do a lot of practicing. She is firmly a right handed toddler but she cut with these till her hand was tired which was over an hour asking for more paper to cut. She was an expert out of the gate and they were easy for her to use. When her hand was tired, she switched hands and kept cutting. It was such a joy to watch her learn to put the scissors up and the paper flat. Definitely worth the purchase for the first time out with a 2 year old. Highly recommend!

These scissors are great! I purchased these for my o rely ambitious 1.5 year old. Before giving them to him, I of course tried them out. Here’s what I found, overall:Pros- They are SO CUTE! I love the attention to detail from the adorable bunny paw prints along the shanks to the little ears and stubby tail on the bows.- They are lightweight but sturdy. Light enough for a toddler to handle but sturdy enough for a toddler to beat up.- They cut everything they are supposed to, and nothing they aren’t supposed to. I tried these scissors on lots of things: a paper towel, printer paper, construction paper, a Ziplock bag, my finger, and my hair, to name a few. They cut through the printer paper and the construction paper pretty easily, the ziplock bag and the paper towel were a bit harder (which is a good thing! I don’t need my toddler trying to cut up everything he can get his tiny hands on). When I tried on my finger, even as hard as I could, it luckily wouldn’t cut me, let alone hurt, which is great. Most importantly, they don’t cut through hair, so no homemade haircuts for us!- They can be used with both left and right hands. I encourage my son to use both hands and these cut well on either hand!- The price is super low.Cons- While they aren’t hard to cut with, they can be a bit rigid. Although, they haven’t been “broken in” and may loosen up a lot over time.Overall, these scissors are a fantastic buy!

I am a special education teacher for K-2 grade and I bought these for students that have issues with cutting friends hair. I think these are good, they don't cut clothing and when I tested them on my own hair.. they were decent. If you take a few strands of hair and try to cut a few strands it will cut the hair.. but if you take a chunk of hair and try to cut it off.. it won't do anything. For the most part with little ones they are going to go and try and cut larger chunks of hair when they are playing with the scissor. I also tested them on my skin and it did not cut me. They cut paper if you line it up well and use the base of the blades to cut. One thing that may help is if you put a little sticker on them to show your child which fingers to put in. The student who I am going to use these for is a lefty and I think he should be fine with the scissors. I had no choice in the colors of the scissors that I purchased. I got 2 pairs of white and green and one pair of white and purple. They are really cute and for the price do a good job.

At first I didn’t want to pay more for the safety scissors and was just going to buy an inexpensive round tip pair from a big box store. That is until my husband asked me “how much is an eye worth?” Needless to say I’m glad I spend a few more dollars to have piece of mind. My toddlers have already done all the things you freak out about while learning to use them.Yes, they’re not the easiest to cut with. But that’s a minor drawback for the safety aspect. I just give them heavier weighted paper (cardstock, construction paper, etc) and it reduces the amount the paper slips through the blades.I would definitely get these again!

Great scissors to teach toddler how to cut paper. Love this as my little one appears to be left handed and they work great in either a right handed or left handed hold. Love that they only cut paper. Some complain that you have to hold the paper straight to get it to cut. I like this as it teachers proper hold and as someone who has worked with occupational therapists this helps teach proper holding and use of opposite hand to hold paper.

My first ever Amazon review...did i buy my 2 year old the winning megamillions lottery ticket winner? Nope. But you would think i had based on his ultra delighted ecstasy like reaction upon my opening the little scissor package and handing them over! My child has been very into scissors as he sees his older cousins doing many scissor projects plus witnessing his mom utilizing them to cut things around the house. Until now i never saw a scissor for 2 year olds. ( mostly 3 or 4yo scissors i saw). These somehow seem bladeless to the touch yet they cut nicely. I fo assist my child to snip away nonetheless as it is hard for him to hold scissors plus object and cut simultaneously. For the furst 24 hours i couldn't get him to put them down. Ok..slight exaggeration. But you get my drift. Very glad to make my child happy with a gift under 5 bucks. I cant speak to the longevity of how these scissors will hold up as they are new and we are first time users. But it solved a problem i was having in the here and now and for that im thankful.

Doesn’t cut paper etc Waste of money

I wanted to introduce my 2-year-old to paper cutting for crafts and sorts, and these scissors seemed like the perfect choice for safety. Super cute for kids! In terms of safety, they certainly deliver – they are undoubtedly "safe" scissors. So safe they don't even cut paper well. You have to hold the paper in a certain unconventional way to get it to cut. It makes the process feel awkward and challenging. While they may serve well as tools for learning, they fall short when it comes to paper cutting.
