Advantages: cute idea

Disadvantages: doesn't work overly well and kids grow out of them very quickly

Plastic scissors with a cute little duck on them. Very easy to see why the kids like stuff like this. Colourful and much more interesting then mum's scissors. Needless to say a lot safer as well.

The plastic safety blade allows the kids to learn how to use scissors without the parents having a heart attack watching over them. The handle is shaped to allow little hands to grasp the properly. As the plastic blades cut through the paper they make what I can only discribe as a cutting sound.

The box says that the scissors are suitable for children aged 3 years and up, however at 3 my little man was still trying to eat them half the time.

Usage is a bit limited due to the plastic blades as they can't cut through anything thicker then two sheets of normal printer paper. The only reason this caused a problem for us is that I had gone to Hoby Craft and bought him a pack of coloured construction paper. He would still try to cut it but this would sometimes result in the scissors getting stuck or ripping the paper.

Another thing that limits the usage is the within a year or so the kids want big kid scissors as they're not babies anymore! :(

I bought these for around £3 but I've seen them recently for about £2. They come in other designs such as shark and gel grip.

Summary: cute idea but not the best in performance
