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

I bought this for one of my students and within a week of practice he was able to cut his paper extremely well without frustration . The size is perfect for smaller students but is plenty sharp and looks like all the other scissors!

These work great for my students who are needing support due to hand strength, coordination, etc. My students can feel the support and those who need it, will find these scissors without me needing to tell them they are specialized scissors. I have purchased a few pair and plan to get more.

Highly recommended from an Occupational Therapist. Great for PreK to Kindergarten age students. Cutting skills lead to writing skills. Perfect for typically developing kids along with those with special needs. Great choice for younger students learning and building cutting skills.

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 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!

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.

Way better than the plastic ones you can get

These are absolutely amazing scissors for your little ones who need just an extra little bit of help. They push back making it easier for the child to open and close great product for preschoolers.

These scissors are amazing for limiting my hand pain

These scissors are ideal for little hands working on fine motor skills. My kids (ages 4 and 6) love using them for crafts. Unlike other plastic scissors that barely cut, these are sharp yet safe, thanks to the pointed blades. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them!

Good

Good scissor for learning toddler as it has spring, the only downside is that edges are too sharp
