My friend got these strange scissors with four holes. But what are they for?

When my friend delivered her baby, her grandma sent her a gift: an old, slightly worn set of scissors. But not just any ordinary one; it had four finger holes and the word “LEFTY” inscribed on the blade. We stared at it for a long time, attempting to decipher its function.

“Is this something medical?” I inquired, turning it in my hands. “Or maybe it’s for sewing with the left hand?” We came up with various possibilities, but none of them appeared to fit.

I decided to dig deeper. After some searching, an old forum, and a few old advertising brochures, I discovered that these are instructional children’s scissors. These scissors were designed to help an adult teach a toddler how to cut. The youngster inserts their fingers into one pair of holes, the adult in the other, and they perform the action together.

I was very startled. I’d never heard of this. But the more I considered it, the more I liked the concept. These scissors are more than simply metal and plastic; they represent care, patience, and tenderness.

Perhaps the grandmother provided not just a tool, but also a small bridge between generations, allowing mother and child to take their first steps together, literally “hand in hand.” Now, these unusual scissors hang on my friend’s shelf as a symbol of familial ties. And one day, when her child grows up, they will undoubtedly use them. Together.
