Safety and Maintenance

• Supervision: While designed with safety in mind, adult supervision is always recommended when children are using cutting tools.
• Cleaning: Wipe the blades with a dry cloth after use; if they become sticky from tape, use a small amount of soapy water and dry thoroughly to prevent oxidisation.
• Storage: Keep in a pencil case or stationery organiser to protect the blade edges from becoming dull.
• Usage Tip: Teach children to always carry scissors with the blades closed and held in the palm of their hand for maximum safety when walking.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are they suitable for left-handed children? These feature a universal handle design that can be used by both left and right-handed learners, though the blade orientation is standard.
• Will they cut through fabric? They are specifically designed for paper and thin cardstock; they are not recommended for heavy textiles or thick materials.
• Are the blades sharp? While the tips are blunt for safety, the stainless steel edges are sharpened to ensure paper is cut cleanly rather than torn.

The "Steady Hand" Pro Tip

• To help your child master the use of their Dashing Blunt-Tip Scissors, draw a thick, bold line on a piece of scrap paper and have them practice cutting alongside it.
• If the scissors feel "stiff," a single drop of vegetable oil on the central pivot screw will keep the action smooth and effortless for those developing hand muscles.
