FAQs
Are these scissors safe for toddlers?
Yes, these scissors are designed with safety as a priority for preschool-aged children. They only cut paper and cardstock and feature rounded tips.
What materials can these scissors cut?
These scissors are specifically designed to cut paper, construction paper, and thin cardstock. They are not intended for fabric, plastic, or other thick materials.
How do I clean the scissors?
Wipe the scissors with a damp cloth. Avoid immersion in water. Ensure they are dry before storing.
How many scissors are in a pack?
Each pack contains three pairs of safety scissors.
Is adult supervision required?
While the scissors are safe for their intended use, adult supervision is recommended during craft activities, especially for younger children, to ensure proper technique and safe handling.
What is the benefit of the spring device?
The spring device in the handle makes cutting easier for children by automatically opening the blades after each cut, requiring less effort and reducing hand fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Scissors not cutting paper cleanly
Ensure the paper is pressed firmly against the blade and that the spring mechanism is functioning correctly. Check for any paper residue stuck in the blade or spring.
Spring mechanism feels stiff
Gently flex the handles a few times to loosen the spring. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the spring's movement. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Child finds it difficult to operate
Demonstrate the cutting motion slowly, emphasizing the gentle squeeze needed to activate the spring. Practice with larger, easier-to-cut paper first.
