It just makes me nervous to have either of my kids around that or would a plain scissors work the best?
How about getting one of those goof up gloves and teaching him to use it? I saw that on Fons & Porter TV show. They alwasy wear the glove when cutting.
I think a 9 yr old with some supervision can do more than you think.
