TRU RED™ Kid's Scissors

TRU RED™ kids’ scissors are just right for small hands and tiny fingers that are still developing the dexterity and hand-eye coordination skills necessary for cutting. At Staples®, kids’ scissors are available in different sizes, colors, and multipacks for home use, classrooms, daycare centers, and after-school programs. 

Choosing the Right Size TRU RED Kids’ Scissors
TRU RED offers two sizes of children’s scissors. For ages 4 to 11, the 5-inch pairs are a good choice as they provide small hands a tool that is controllable. Kids ages 12 and older find the 7-inch pairs more fitting to their hand sizes. These scissors offer enough room for growing fingers, although they’re still smaller than an adult’s scissors that usually have 8-inch blades. The holes for holding the crafting tools should be wide enough to fit children’s fingers naturally, with enough room to maneuver paper to achieve specific cuts. The ergonomic shape of the handles of TRU RED kids’ scissors, while considered straight for cutting purposes, are actually curved sufficiently for both right-handed and left-handed users. 

Benefits of Using TRU RED Kids’ Scissors
These cutting implements are the right size to fit the needs of young students who are still learning to cut straight lines, and for older children with more advanced skills who need more maneuverability to complete complex assignments. They’re constructed with stainless steel blades, and lightweight for easy handling by small children. Multipacks of 2, 12, and 24 pairs make the scissors available for one or many children at an excellent price point. 

Why Pick Stainless Steel TRU RED Kids’ Blunt-tip Scissors?
The protective coating on stainless steel makes these essential art tools rust-resistant, which adds to their durability and extends life. Manufacturers forge the scissors and then coat each handle with a soft plastic that’s comfortable for children to grip. Ergonomic handles are essential to reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions for large art projects. The 5-inch pairs have blunt tips that provide safety for children, potentially eliminating injuries from a pointed blade, and the blades are dull enough to reduce the chances of accidents yet sharp enough to allow students to easily cut through paper, adding to their self-confidence when tackling tasks.

Do TRU RED Kids’ Blunt-tip Scissors Come in Different Colors?
Yes, the handles are available in blue, green, pink, red, and yellow. Assign specific colors to identify art supplies for different classes or for individual students.
