MapedSensoft Scissors with Flexible Handles, Kids, 5 Inch, Blunt Tip, Left Handed, Assorted Colors (693500)

We lefties learn young to live with raw deals, which is why I'm so pleasantly surprised that a pair of scissors meant for us costs under $5 but works so well. If you're both sinister and large-handed, you're likely still out of luck, but for a child or adult with delicate dainty digits, these scissors are well balanced, appropriately sharp, and comfortable to use. I'm absurdly pleased by the whole situation which is why I keep wandering into alliteration. Seriously, get this pair for yourself but whatever you do, don't run with them. On average, we die nearly a decade sooner than the righties who so unfairly outnumber us -- the rawest deal of them all, when you think about it.(Try not to think about it.)

Basic kids school scissors BUT true lefty vs the kind that just make a handle that is comfortable in either hand. It does make a difference. Watch YouTube videos that explain why it is important for the blades to be reversed on a true lefty scissors. Makes a big difference on how well my daughter can control cutting. If you are a righty, try putting your righty scissors in your left hand to cut & you will see how it twists because the blade pressure/alignment is not right. It’s too bad they try to pass the righty kids scissors as right/left. They aren’t. I’m glad I could find these on line because it’s almost impossible in the stores anymore. I would recommend for parents of lefty kids - especially if on the school supply list.

I never knew there were lefty scissors and what a huge difference it made for children whose dominant hands were the left-hand. For 8 yeatrs, my daughter has been using right-hand scissors and there's been many times I look at her and thought she was holding the scissors awkward. Recently, she joined a sewing class and the teacher saw how much she was struggling with the scissors and recommended me buying one, so I looked for several and she liked this one because of the colors. I couldn't believe how much easier it was for her to cut items and manipulate paper and fabric by having a scissor meant for her. I immediately decided to buy another scissors for her to use at home since this purchase was for her sewing class.This is definitely a winner for all lefties and have passed on my newly acquired knowledge to a few friends with lefty children. I tried to cut with the scissor being that I'm right-handed and I had a difficult time holding the scissor as well as cutting with it. I got through it by turning the scissors the opposite way which proves it is definitely not for the majority, the right-hand users.This is definitely recommended for all lefties!

Works great for lefty kids, easy to use size and well made!

These are true left hand scissors with the correct blade orientation. I like this size its a good compact utility scissor for the junk drawer. I use a medium size adult glove and it is comfortable to use. The finger holes are a soft rubber and a bit unusual but it seems to work ok. I would prefer it to be a harder plastic. It cuts well, is light weight but I don't think it is adjustable, I tried turning the screw but it does not do anything. The one thing keeping it from a 5 star is that it does not cut all the way to the tip, it is short about a 1/8" or so, so if you want a precision cutting scissor this is not for you.

Bought this for a left handed kid. It fit them well and for the first time they're able to easily cut paper without getting frustrated. It made them feel so happy. 10/10 would buy again.

My son is left-handed and has issues with the traditional left-handed scissors. These he is having no problem using them at all. I love that the loops move with him they are pliable which I think is very helpful.

3 stars not bc of scissor quality, but the issue I had when ordering. Work well for left handed comfort. My son likes them. They had color options but I couldn't choose the color when ordering. Went back and forth several times with cust. service and they couldn't help either. So, you purchase and get whatever color they send you. Did this at least 3 times trying to get the color that wasn't pink and blue. Then gave up.
