He can cut by himself with these scissors! He's overjoyed, and I'm overjoyed as well!.
If you have a young child who has difficulty using scissors, this is a great solution. I do notice that they appear to be a little large for a child of two to three years old.
Because she lacks both fine and gross motor strength, she should begin working on cutting at the age of three. I wanted to do the same thing at home as we did at OT/PT. They measure 8 inches in length. I'd say they're more appropriate for older children and adults, rather than toddlers, preschool, or kindergarten. They were only used by my older children to experiment with them. If you're looking to buy, the 5 inch is the way to go. They cut equally well for left and right handed users, which is a huge plus! We have both in our house and have successfully cut and turned both ways. Overall, these are fantastic, and I plan to buy the 5-inch set.
My son will only take these scissors in his hands. He's three years old, and the design aids him in cutting correctly. Our occupational therapist suggested this type of scissors as a first choice for children who lack hand strength and fine motor skills.
I was having trouble teaching my preschooler how to use traditional scissors, and she was frustrated because she couldn't grasp the concept of fitting her thumb and finger through the loop. a complete meltdown These arrived yesterday, and I'm overjoyed! The issue has been resolved! My new problem is keeping things out of her way, or they'll be cut. It's something I'd strongly advise you to try.
These scissors have blades that are much shorter than regular scissors (see them on top versus another set of similar scissors on the bottom with normal sized blades) and thus have the same cutting limitations as toddler scissors. The grip is good, and they cut well right out of the box (time will tell), but only get them if you don't mind short blades.
These were purchased for my two young children, ages three and four. They are very effective, and my children have no problems with them. They're ideal for children who can't yet use regular scissors, as well as children and adults with disabilities.
I used adaptive scissors like these for many years as a special education teacher. This item was a dud. They're brittle and difficult to work with.
