My nice Kai sewing scissors are in my sewing closet. All my children know they are not to touch them or get into my closet without asking. They are allowed to use them when we are sewing something together under my supervision.

I think part of it is having scissors that they can use too for their creative pursuits. We have a pair nice scissors for them (Klein) ones to use for paper in the office supplies drawers. We also have some cheap ones for use for more "creative" materials (foil, cardboard, etc.) My four year old has her own pair of little scissors. My children can feel the difference in the nice Klein ones and see how if they take care of them they last. I just got the less expensive blue plastic Klein ones from the Lowes website. They are so lovely to use.
