Use scissors with care and direct, adult supervision. If you use embellishments, please remember: A) Cord, yarn etc. can be a strangulation hazard, therefore be sure to use with direct supervision and for its intended purpose. B) Small items (such as beads, buttons etc.) can be a choking hazard, therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
