Retractable blade cutting knife for safety and made in a solid metal design. These cut easily and are great for opening boxes or cutting foam and leather.
The use of real tools like this cutting knife, with proper supervision, helps to encourage children and students to become confident and capable learners through experience. With the right supervision and guidelines, many children will be able to use real life tools to create, build and also design.
We always recommend children are properly supervised and wear appropriate protective clothing, glasses and or gloves where necessary when using tools. The use of real life tools can lead to real and more meaningful learning experiences for children of all ages. As a result, risky play can be an important part of a child's education and development. In addition, with appropriate risk assessments, the use of real tools and risky play allows students to participate in authentic, real experiences which in turn increases motivation, improves behaviour, develops communication and language, develops understanding of the world, and accompanies other curriculum and developmental areas.
 
Please note that these cutting knives are not toys and require adequate and responsible supervision at all times and as determined by the service, school and educator.
