Scissor Review from Shoplet

I was asked recently to review three types of scissors from ACME.  What teacher wouldn't want to review scissors??  The first scissors I reviewed were the Westcott Kids Scissors with Microban Protection. These are very sturdy scissors for young children.

What is Microban Protection you might ask?  Well, it's a Microban antimicrobial product to inhibit the growth of bacterial odors.  I'm not sure that this is as important to me as a teacher compared to the way the scissors cut.  They do cut very nicely and can be used with the right or left hand.
The next pair of scissors that I reviewed were the Westcott Titanium Bonded 8" Non-Stick Straight Scissors.

I like love these scissors!!  It just so happened that the day they arrived I had brought home lots of laminated word cards that needed cut.  I was able to make one little cut and then slide the scissors through the rest of the film.  They are very comfortable to cut with for longer periods of time.  The blades have a non-stick coating that is resistant to tape, glue and velcro.  I would definitely recommend these scissors!
The last product that I had to review was the Westcott Scissor Mouse.  This little thing is so awesome!  Just take a look at the pictures below.

First, line up the mouse with the picture that you are wanting to cut.

Next, simply roll the mouse across the paper for a nice, straight cut.

The scissor mouse is perfect for cutting anything that needs a quick straight line (it can also cut long waves).  I can't wait to use it to wrap Christmas presents!  The mouse did take a few tries to get it to work. There is a red plastic arrow at the bottom of the mouse that guides the paper.

You have to make sure the paper slides between the mouse and the red arrow.  The paper will jam if it is not placed just right.  The blade is not exposed, so it is safe for adults and children.  However, it might be tricky for younger children to use.
