Advantages: make it easier for left handed children to learn scissor skills

Disadvantages: not so easy if you are right handed

Ru scissors
Are you left handed? Do you find using right handed scissors a trial? I have several left handed children at work and to make life easier for then we have some RU children's left handed scissors.

These left handed scissors have been designed so they are a reversal of right handed scissors and so are easy to use by a left handed child.
Young children can find it difficult to master cutting with scissor skills imagine the extra trials and difficulty if you are left handed using a right handed scissor.

There are 2 types of RU scissors available.

Childs scissors which have 5x 10 mm sections marked on the blade these cost £2.05.
The school, scissor which has a stainless steel blade with blue plastic handles, one of the blades is sharp the other a rounded blunt one these cost £9.95. There is also another school scissor both of these blades are blunt with and rounded points. These also cost £9.99p. the school scissors do not have the 10mm markings on them

These scissors are available at the prices above from http://www.ru-lefthanded.co.uk/pages/items_for_lef t_handed_children.htm

I find cutting with a lot of children's scissors very difficult they have been designed for but these RU scissors do cut well. They will cut paper and thin card with no problem. While at the same time being designed as safe as possible the blades not razor sharp and the ends rounded. The scissors have plastic handles soft so they do not cut into a Childs hand.

These scissors are well made they maintain a good closure. They are good for a classroom with many children using them also would be ideal at home for your left handed child.

Even though these are a child's scissor and relatively safe please supervise your young child while they are using scissors
