Training Scissors
I foudn these after a college tutor [at enrolment] mentioned them to me and seem a good idea.

Aly I can't get the link to work?

just altered it. sorry

link isnt working but I used to have these in a nursery I worked at.

they are a good idea but kinda restricts the children to be independant.
they aid the cutting skill that can also be done with an adult sitting next to a child holding scissors to deomnstrate the action so the child can copy.

i would consider investing in some if I had a child with no coordination skills or lack of fine motor skills due to a disability but not for general use.

this is only my opinion though.

here is a link that works to see them but no idea what pricing they may be on ebay.

don't forget to get some left handed ones as well for inclusion

I find the sprung loaded ones useful for children who are getting frustrated.
