Title: Small size bubble tongs
Description: My students use what we call “Bubble Tongs” as a pre-scissor skill in the school setting. They open and close like scissors but have a half cup on each “blade” and, when closed, create a “bubble.” We use them to catch items such as pom poms, porcupine balls, jingle bells, etc. The problem is, some of my students have such small hands/fingers, that they cannot open the bubble tongs wide enough to catch the items. I was wondering if you would be able to create a smaller sized pair? They would have to be able to move as an open/close tool like scissors and I am not sure if you’re able to do such a thing! Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!
Requestor is local but is seeking a maker to print the design once our engineer team finalizes the finished product.
