MapedHelix USA Koopy Spring-Assisted Educational Scissors, Kids, 5 Inch, Blunt Tip, Right Handed Use (470249US),Black/White

Definitely a great choice especially if your child is struggling with their fine motor skills. The assisted switch makes cutting and learning the motion that little bit easier.

Bought these for toddler because they had the same ones at daycare. She loves them. Cut construction paper well, she’s never had a safety issue, great size and grip works well for learning finger placement.

These scissors are great for teaching cutting skills. They are spring loaded!

The media could not be loaded. My daughter was learning fine motor skills before I purchased these scissors, she has now developed excellent fine-motor skills.Surprisingly at first, I wasn't familiar with spring-assisted scissors or know if such a thing exists, but I must say that for anyone who is struggling to learn fine motor skills, this spring-assisted scissors will be a great tool.You can move the handle up or down as per your comfort, or if you believe that your child had developed such skills, you can stop using the spring setting & let them use it normally.Starting from when my daughter was a preschooler, she started learning to hold & move the fingers gradually, these activities may take some time to be developed because good hand & eye coordination is required, now when she began elementary school, she is doing great. It took a fair bit of time to excel in that skill for she is a lefty.My daughter is still using these scissors without the spring assistance & she loves it. The blades are sharp but rounded on top to avoid accidents.The scissors contain soft comfortable grips, a left-handed child too can use them comfortably

Ordered these to be used at our OT clinic! They work very well with spring loaded setting being optional. Can be used as traditional pediatric scissors or you can turn on spring to assist with opening scissors during cutting. Perfect for kids with decreased hand strength or kids learning to use scissors. Supervision still needed for safety as they can cut most things. My only complaint is that the screw holding both sides of scissors together often comes loose and even falls out with screwdriver needed to reconnect scissors.

These were recommended to me and they work great. I have a student whose small hands were struggling to cut. These helped with strengthening and cutting better.

These scissors are so great for beginners!My child has low muscle tone, which affects fine motor development. Scissor skills are not only useful in everyday life, they’ve become a requirement in lower elementary. Before getting these scissors, my child would give up half way through cutting something, and within a couple of tries using this one, he’s quickly becoming proficient. It was game changing for us but it would definitely benefit any kiddo, it’s so much easier to stay motivated when the task at hand isn’t tedious AND hard!Highly recommend this product!

These work really well. My daughter was having trouble opening regular scissors with one hand and I was worried she would accidently cut herself. The little spring in these make it easy to open and close until she gets used to it. I like that it can be used with or without the spring. I do worry that the spring part might give out since it's made of plastic.
