I’ve often felt like I’ve neglected my kids’ scissor cutting skills when they were little. It’s easy to forget about cutting practice for preschoolers, since it’s not like ABC’s or 123’s that are everywhere. Plus sometimes just the thought of handing scissors to a preschooler can be scary! You know?
Luckily, it doesn’t have to be scary anymore. Fiskars knows how important safety and learning is and they’ve created Fiskars Kids Scissors just for young children. Fiskars Preschool Scissors teach little ones how to hold and use scissors with comfy ergonomic designs that put safety first. (Recommended for ages 3+.)
My son, Luke, is 4 and definitely needs cutting practice with scissors as he enters preschool this fall. It was perfect timing that Fiskars sent us a package with different products to try out, including the Fiskars Preschool Scissors.
Luke hasn’t had much cutting practice at all, but he took to the Fiskars Preschool Scissors right away. With a little help from me in figuring out how to hold them properly, he was cutting (almost) like a pro in no time. He hasn’t quite made up his mind whether he’s a righty or lefty, but he was able to use the scissors with both hands fairly easily.

One of my other sons, Joshua, is entering the first grade this fall and he absolutely loves these cutting practice sheets along with his new Fiskars Kids Scissors.
Joshua used to have a hard time when he used scissors, but it’s clear that practice makes perfect because he does a great job now!
The non-stick blade coating makes it easy to cut cleanly through materials with sticky adhesives like tape or glue making these scissors perfect for kids as they head back to school.

My kids did all this in preschool, but I love that you have your kids doing it at home, too.

This would have been perfect for my kids. I will have to print some off for the next time my friend brings her little ones over.

What a grand idea. I never really thought about the fact that kids have to learn those skills. I am such a control freak, I have never really given my kids the chance. Ugh, momfail š LOL…

This is such a great idea. It can be tough to develop cutting skills.
