My daughter loves doing arts and crafts and, as such, I have a big arts box which I ensure is continually topped up with supplies so that she can delve into it whenever the mood takes her. Because she gets through her supplies fairly quickly, and she is not the best at looking after things, I try to purchase craft materials which are both durable and inexpensive - and for me, Crayola, together with ELC products, tend to come out at the very top of this list. As my daughter is only 3 years old, I obviously don't want her having access to any products with which she could cause herself damage - and for that reason, sharp scissors are really not an option.

Due to Lily's obsession with Mr Maker, Art Attack and anything arty, I decided to buy some arts and crafts stuff for her and we regularly cut things out and gluing them onto pieces of paper, I even had her making Christmas cards for family members last year, which she loved. I thought it would be a good idea to build up an arts and crafts box for her Christmas. I bought some different coloured card, drawing pads, colouring books, googly eyes, crayons, PVA glue, foam, cotton wool etc and put it all in a big box and wrapped it up. One of the things I thought I would purchase, was her own set of scissors, as it has been me doing all the cutting and I thought it was about ..  Read the complete review

Crayola Safety Scissors I have to admit that I do like Crayola items as I often find them a good make and they last well. The smaller items are also very reasonably priced so we find ourselves buying quite a few craft things for our youngster who loves anything to do with art and craft. Being quite young, we do not trust our youngster to use proper 'adult' scissors and so have bought her a few plastic child scissors, the latest pack being this duo pack from crayola as just as Christmas was coming along, we found her other scissors had vanished into thin air! (maybe the elves needed them?!) Amazon have these for as little as £0.01 ...  Read the complete review

My niece and I love making things together when I look after her. Coming up to Christmas we decided to make her my sister (her mum) and my mum (her grandmother) handmade Christmas cards. I thought it would be a nice idea and I knew it would keep her busy. We already have lots of craft bits such as paper, feathers and sequins. The only thing we didn't have was child friendly scissors. Knowing my niece likes to be independent I knew she would want to handle the scissors herself with no aid from me. So to save the trouble I decided to look out for some child friendly scissors which she could use herself. ** Price & Availability ** I was ...  Read the complete review

We've tried a few different pairs of kids safety scissors over the years. Most of them have been relatively blunt plastic jobbies which have proven near incapable of cutting even the thinnest of papers. Those that have been able to cut paper have needed an adult technique to do so. The tempation behind buying all those other pairs was of course the price tag. You can pick up a pair of cheapy kids scissors for about 30p - 40p a pair in most supermarkets or bargain shops. The Crayola Safety Scissors will set you back around £2 for a twin pack, but it turned out that we could have saved a lot of money (and frustration) by forking out the £2 in the first instance ...  Read the complete review
