The Scissors

Scissors are a tool that helps you cut things. They are like a special kind of knife with two matching parts that can move together.

One part of the scissors is called the handle. It is the part you hold onto, and it comes in different shapes and sizes to fit different hands. The other part is the blades. These are the parts that actually do the cutting.

When you want to cut something, you have to put it between the blades. Then, by opening and closing the handles, the blades come together and cut the thing you want to cut.

It is important to be careful with scissors because the blades are very sharp and can hurt you if you use them the wrong way. That's why adults usually supervise kids when they use scissors, so they don't get hurt.

Overall, scissors are a very useful tool that can cut paper, fabric, and lots of other things.
