Preschool scissors

DD1 uses scissors at school so I got a pair of Fiskars blunt tip for her today. They are terrible. They do not open and close smoothly.

Is there a specific brand I should get?

I've had great luck with Fiskars to be honest. Are they metal or plastic?

I've find these are fine for 4 year olds. I've been letting my 3.5 use them under my supervision now as well.

Those are what I got from Michaels. So maybe I just got a dud pair? Maybe I'll just exchange them out for a new pair.

I can barely open and close them myself!

I like the Fiskars ones myself. We have a ton of kid scissors. I'd take them back and get a new pair.

We have the Target brand ones and like them a lot. As an aside, do not buy the Target brand markers - those are terrible compared to Crayola.
