The Galt Safety Scissors are an essential tool for young artists and preschool-aged children beginning their journey into arts and crafts. These scissors are specifically engineered to slice through paper and light cardstock with ease while remaining safe for home and classroom environments. While they provide excellent peace of mind for parents and educators, users should note that their specific design means they are less effective on thicker materials like heavy cardboard or fabric.

Yes, the symmetrical design of the handles makes them suitable for both left-handed and right-handed children.
No, these are designed specifically for paper and light cardstock and will not cut fabric effectively.
These are generally recommended for children beginning their arts and crafts development, typically in the 3-5 year age range under adult supervision.
The scissors are specifically engineered so they will not cut hair, offering a significant safety buffer for parents.
It is not recommended to put them in the dishwasher. Cleaning by hand is sufficient to keep them in good condition.
Ensure the child is using the scissors at the correct angle and not trying to cut more than two layers of paper at once.
Check the pivot point for dried glue or craft debris, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
These scissors require no assembly; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longest lifespan, keep the scissors away from high-heat sources which may warp the plastic blades. If the hinges become stiff due to adhesive residue from craft materials, clean them by gently wiping the blades with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Store them in a dry craft box to prevent dust buildup in the pivot point.
