First Creations Safety Scissors provide a valuable tool for holistic development in early childhood. From fine motor skills to safety awareness and creative expression, the use of these scissors contributes to a well-rounded and positive learning experience for young children.
Our First Scissors is thoughtfully designed for the small hands of preschoolers and toddlers. Crafted from durable plastic with blunted ends, these safety scissors prioritize your child's well-being. The carefully engineered design ensures they will not cut hair, clothes, or skin, providing a worry-free introduction to cutting for young learners.
Ideal for use with paper or dough, these scissors are impervious to salts in dough, moisture, and rust, guaranteeing durability and safety for prolonged use. Parents can rest assured that our First Scissors offer a secure and age-appropriate tool for fostering early motor skills and creative exploration.
Developmental benefits
Fine Motor Skills: Using safety scissors requires intricate hand movements and coordination. Children develop fine motor skills as they manipulate the scissors to cut paper or dough. This skill is essential for tasks such as writing, tying shoelaces, and buttoning clothes.
Hand-Eye Coordination: Cutting with scissors involves coordinating hand movements with visual cues. Children enhance their hand-eye coordination as they guide the scissors along lines or shapes, a fundamental skill for various daily activities and academic tasks.
Safety Awareness: First Creations Safety Scissors are specifically designed to be safe for young children. The blunted ends ensure that they will not cut hair, clothes, or skin. Using these safety scissors introduces children to safety measures while engaging in hands-on activities, fostering an early awareness of potential risks and precautions.
Creativity and Imagination: Scissor activities promote creativity and imaginative play. Children can cut paper into various shapes, creating their own unique artworks. This encourages self-expression and allows them to explore their creative instincts.
Cognitive Skills: Cutting with scissors involves planning and decision-making. Children decide where to cut, how to position the scissors, and how to create specific shapes. These cognitive processes contribute to their problem-solving abilities and spatial awareness.
Independence: The use of safety scissors empowers children to work independently. As they gain proficiency, they become more self-reliant in completing tasks, building a sense of autonomy and confidence in their abilities.
Preparation for School: Learning to use scissors is a precursor to various school activities that involve cutting and crafting. Familiarity with scissors at an early age helps children feel more comfortable and prepared for the fine motor tasks they will encounter in a school setting.
Social Interaction: Scissor activities can be collaborative, promoting social interaction and teamwork. Children can engage in shared cutting projects, fostering cooperation, communication, and a sense of community during creative endeavours.
We loved these face paint sticks. They come in a great range of colours and are so easy to wipe off. The kids loved them!! Also loved that they are non toxic!
We have had so much fun playing with our dot markers! We made some cards for our friends, and they love it 😊
So good for practising our colours, and concentrating on trying not to overlap the colours on the paper. We have played with them almost everyday.
The Clear Junior Rainbow Pebbles has been a huge surprise. I can see my little one's thinking develop as I watch her play. Stacking, colour grouping, and counting. Highly recommended for a fun and enriching experience!
