I really love these scissors, so I just want to get the reason it's 4 stars out of the way right now. When I ordered them it said free shipping, but once I put in my Alaskan address the shipping was nearly $30.00 which is completely outrageous. Nevertheless, I needed them and purchased them. Aside from the fact they were very expensive, I am very happy with them. They are very durable and very kid-friendly. The blunt ends are great for young 'uns. And the light-weight plastic handles are perfect for even the smallest hands. I love that they can be used for either right or left handed children. And I adore that they come with a little plastic container that keeps them all neatly aligned. I use it and have taught the kids how to nicely put their scissors back in place. I love it and would highly suggest it for teachers, camp counselors, and parents of large families.
