Considering the beginning of the school year, it will be natural to equip your child with good scissors, because they are important tools, and whether your child is left-handed or right-handed, choosing scissors that suit his needs is also important.
How do you choose the right cutting tools for him? What are the best scissors that enable him to cut skillfully and comfortably? Here are our tips to help you do that, and the best brand you can trust:
How to choose suitable scissors for your child
Large scissors will tire the child quickly, and may be dangerous for him. The same will be true with very small scissors! The child will hurt his hand, will not be able to open and close the scissors properly, and the scissors may rust quickly! So how do you choose the right scissors for your child's hands?
To choose the scissors that best suit your child, you must take into account certain criteria that we have summarized in these points:
- How he handles and holds scissors.
- Blade length.
- Is your child left-handed or right-handed? This point will have a great impact on the choice of scissors, so you need to choose the right type of scissors for the right hand and vice versa.
- The quality of the materials that make up the scissors.
To determine these criteria, we will do some experiments:
1- The child will first experience different shapes of scissors, depending on the development of his fine motor skills. You will notice if he feels more comfortable using one scissors than another.
- Choose the rings best suited to the size of your child's hands, as they will provide a firmer, more comfortable grip.
2- Systematically offer him the scissors with which he can better carry out cutting activities.
- If your child feels more comfortable with his index and middle fingers in the bottom ring, he or she will need scissors with different sized rings, although the thumb will always be in the small ring at the top.
- If your child prefers to leave his index finger resting on the blade, he will need scissors with matching rings.
3- In terms of the length of the slices or blade, initially choose scissors with short slices, so that it is easy for your son to open and close the scissors, knowing that the older he gets, the more large blades you can provide him.
- In general, it is better to buy scissors with smaller blades for a younger child (blade length 5 cm).
4- In terms of safety:
- Round scissors may be safer for younger children.
- Special scissors can be chosen for people with special needs.
