How to use

Hold the scissors with a comfortable grip so the index and middle fingers guide the lower handle while the thumb operates the upper handle. Align the straight blades with the cutting line and move the scissors smoothly along the material to achieve an even cut. Use short, controlled snips for curves and detailed shapes, and longer strokes for straight edges. Store scissors with blades closed and keep out of reach of very young children when not supervised.

Usage recommendations

For best results use on paper, thin cardboard and similar light materials. Supervise younger children during use and encourage proper hand positioning to develop safe scissor skills. Regularly check blade alignment and clean blades if adhesive residue or fibres accumulate.
