Scissors, Full Size

While the Dollar Tree does have scissors for $1.25, I personally like Amazon’s Annie Cutting Scissors better for the same price of $1.25.

Scissors, Kid Size

The Wescott Right and Left-Handed Scissors 2-pack on Amazon is only $1.99! (This is great if you’re not sure if your little one is left-handed or right-handed!
