delices by cariterMy first reaction was that this perfume was a bit overpowering with vibrant notes of cherry and vanilla, yet as time passed by I found myself drawn to it more and more.

Thanks for your story on Valentine's Day crafting. We had a lot of fun with these. I wasn't comfortable letting my son use the scissors yet. At what age is it safe for them to use the scissors?
Mona, NY

Answer:

Safety scissors (scissors with blunt edges) are safe to use starting at the age of 2.5-3 once your kids demonstrate good control of the handle. However, stick with all-plastic safety scissors for a while vs. plastic covered metal scissors which are more likely to cause an accident. Supervise any crafting activity or do a project together and show your child how to hold and use the scissors correctly. Try "Open them, Shut them" song for a quick scissors lesson and practice, practice, practice. Once your kids are in school, they can transition to regular scissors.
