Westcott 5" Kids Blunt Scissors, Pack of 12, Ambidextrous

This 12-pack of Westcott kids’ scissors has been a great addition to our home craft supplies. The four bright colors, blue, green, pink, and yellow, make it easy to assign a pair to each child, which helps avoid mix-ups and keeps activities organized. The size and shape are clearly designed for small hands, and both left- and right-handed kids can use them without awkward grip adjustments. The blunt-tip stainless steel blades cut construction paper and notebook paper cleanly, while still being safe enough for younger users. I also noticed that the insert-molded handle design feels solid, no wiggling or loose parts, even after several uses during craft projects. The corrosion-resistant blades are a plus for storage, since they won’t rust easily if left in a pencil box or supply bin. One limitation is that the scissors don’t work as well on thicker cardstock or foam sheets, but for standard school and home craft materials, they’re exactly what’s needed. Overall, this set is colorful, safe, and built to last, perfect for classrooms, group art activities, or any household where craft time is a regular event.

I didn't buy these for kids. I'm a graphic designer and location photographer who needs to travel. These will not get confiscated from your carry-on gear by TSA when you board an airplane. Also good for camera packs, UL backpacking, the glovebox or the BOB you carry in your car. Sturdy, safe, light and backed by customer-friendly Westcott's 5-yr warranty. A very decent pair of general-purpose scissors to take with you for occasional use. And, they are only a $1 each. (If you buy just ONE of these solo it'll run you $4. 12 for $12 is a great deal!) I gave a 4-color quartet set to a friend of mine who is a photographer. He loved 'em! If I knew any little kids or teachers, I'd give away more. But I don't, so I've got 8 for me... a lifetime supply!)

I am a children's librarian, so I am always looking for safe, yet effective, scissors for the kiddos to use during craft time. I found them! They are very comfortable. My left-handed and right-handed kids both have no problem using them. I wouldn't use them on heavy fabric or really thick items. They are great for PreK crafts, but also great even for adults. I often use these. The colors are great, and they are holding up well. Be prepared to get another container though because the plastic storage container they come in is not very practical if you'll actually be using the scissors. The thing falls over. I just keep them in a little basket. Would definitely buy this again!

Excelente material, muy bien empacado.

I really love these scissors, so I just want to get the reason it's 4 stars out of the way right now. When I ordered them it said free shipping, but once I put in my Alaskan address the shipping was nearly $30.00 which is completely outrageous. Nevertheless, I needed them and purchased them. Aside from the fact they were very expensive, I am very happy with them. They are very durable and very kid-friendly. The blunt ends are great for young 'uns. And the light-weight plastic handles are perfect for even the smallest hands. I love that they can be used for either right or left handed children. And I adore that they come with a little plastic container that keeps them all neatly aligned. I use it and have taught the kids how to nicely put their scissors back in place. I love it and would highly suggest it for teachers, camp counselors, and parents of large families. Tips: These scissors are great for paper, string, yarn, and some fabrics. They don't work well on cardboard, fleece material, or plastic packages. The plastic handles are great because they are so easy to clean. Just wipe them off with a wet papertowel and virtually all marks disappear.

These are great child safety scissors and are being enjoyed by my granddaughter’s preschool class. Would buy again at that excellent price.

I am happy that Left handed scissors were included.

These scissors are great! They are cheaper to buy in bulk like this than individual. They are made well and work well.

Great price.

I bought this for a small group of 4 and 5 year olds. We haven’t started using them yet. Good value for money, the scissors seem strong and they cut well (sample tested; not used by kids yet). The packaging arrived damaged. See next for what I did to adapt the box for storage. Advertised as ‘with Storage Rack’ - this is misleading! If you want to use this for ‘storage’, don’t take off the cellophane (inside the box and around the scissors). Instead, just cut off the top, around the handles (see photo). I have also kept the bottom of the outer box to give it some sturdiness (see photo). The delivery was in a sturdy paper envelope. The box inside arrived damaged and flattened. I sellotaped the edges and manually pushed the box back into shaped so that the box stands by itself.

Very good product & quick delivery 👍👍👍
