Scissors belong to the everyday tools in the household as well as for the hobby sector. As far as configuration is concerned, they are available both as standard and special models. Some are also specially designed for children, such as this model from Fiskars. Let us take a closer look at it.
How is the equipment?
These child scissors from Fiskars come in a funny ladybird motif (other motifs available). The total length is 13 cm, the blades five cm. The weight is 49 grams. The blades are made of stainless steel and the handles of yellow plastic. For safety reasons the blades are rounded at the front. The scissors are suitable for both left and right-handed users. According to the supplier, four-year-old children should already be able to handle the scissors. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
The rating profile, which can be found on Amazon based on customer reviews, does not really make a unanimous impression. It is true that 60 percent of customers give the scissors five stars. But 10 percent are only prepared to award one or two stars. For example, some customers don’t like the fact that the scissors can be used not only to cut paper but also clothes and hair, which can cause parents a certain amount of trouble with their tinkering offspring. Others evaluate exactly this positively again, because it is a “real scissors”. People also like the fact that the blades do not come apart too easily when handling the scissors, so a certain resistance has to be overcome. This is good for controlled working, some users state. This combination of “pleasant sharpness” and a slight compulsion to cut in a controlled manner is a prerequisite for quick “cutting success”, which is important for motivating the little ones, as various users emphasise. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the price-performance ratio?
Currently you can get this model for 3 Euro in the online shop of Amazon. The price is apparently quite ok for the users, as far as they are interested in it. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the conclusion?
These child scissors from Fiskars are well suited to enable children from around four years of age to successfully start cutting. We award a total of 4 out of 5 stars based on product description and customer reviews. At Amazon we currently find 0 (not yet) customer reviews,
