"I am a therapist who works with toddlers. I give a pair of these scissors to each child when I first begin seeing them and they love them. Most parents do not dream of letting their 1 - 3 year old use scissors, but these are wonderful. They DO NOT CUT HAIR. They are great for play-doh and paper. Sometimes paper can be a little more difficult due to it not being placed in the right area. Overall these are GREAT for a child's first pair!"
