We have purchased these scissors for our daycare. At first we were thrilled that kids can really good with the scissors. It is great in the hand and facilitates cutting with the youngsters immensely! Unfortunately, after the first week, the joy was over. The first two scissors are refracted at the plastic rounding. A few days later, we found that all the other shears have hairline cracks at exactly the same place, so it's probably only a matter of time before this break. Too bad, the idea of scissors is great, the material and the processing is still in need of improvement! By the way: Cuts without problems fabric and hair! So when young children use only under supervision!
