You could apply decoration and shape simultaneously to basic paper while using these clever marker scissors. Invented by Perry Teri Toys, this product combines an inky coloring implement with a small safety blade and ergonomic grips, doubling up your crafting potential with each artistic stroke.

The collection of vivid drawing utensils comes with eight colors so kids have the freedom to picture anything that they like. True paper crafting can come out of the natural act of scribbling, slicing each line that you make with the smoothness of your freehand movement. Outlines can be excised from the page and patterns like spirals can be drawn out into 3D creations. The ColorCutter ShapeShark is a next-level pencil case implement that converges two tools in one.
