Real scissors that actually cut, sized for small hands.

Most children’s scissors struggle with paper. These cut cleanly through paper, cloth, tissue paper and thread, so children succeed from the first snip.

  • They really cut. Sharp enough to work, so children don’t get frustrated.
  • Blunt tips. Safer for learning, with an adult nearby.
  • Stainless steel. Comfortable to hold and lasts for years; adults use them too.
  • For practical life and sewing. Cutting work, crafts, embroidery and sewing boxes.
  • Carry case included. Easy to store and take along.

In the box: 1 pair of scissors (multicolour or silver finish) · carry case

Sent from London · UK delivery £2.90, free over £40

This is a Montessori teaching material to be used with adult supervision.

Absolutely phenomenal scissors!

Absolutely phenomenal scissors!
My 3 years old has been using them non-stop daily to cut paper, thread, and opening packaging. He is showing so much confidence and his fine motor skills are definitely improving. I highly recommend them!

Dear Montessori teacher,

We are thrilled to hear the various ways the child puts the scissors to use! Thank you for sharing!!

Wish him be ever more empowered and independent!

Best wishes,

Eva
