Best gifts for left-handed kids
The best gifts for lefty kids are not flashy. They are the tools that make cutting, writing and crafts feel easy, so a kid who finally cuts on the line notices right away.
1. First tools for little lefties (ages 3 to 7)
Start with scissors and a good grip. These two make the biggest difference for a young lefty, and they are cheap.
