I bought it for my 3-year-old daughter because she wanted a pair of scissors. Of course there are scissors in each store to buy but I found the combination of scissors and various forms for cutting a cute idea and my daughter also. While they obviously can not even cut along the form, but that did not detract from the fun done. And what I do I find really good that the gap really just paper cuts, no hair or textiles. That's very important in children. So I think this toy a successful thing
