Guest Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Does such a dispenser exist that is child friendly, perhaps with some sort of guard to protect fingers and hands from the serrated metal? ppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Oh sorry ppp - I can't - I actually visit Staples to buy - one of my favourite shops - never leave without completely blowing the budget!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanne Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I know we could do with one - one of my colleagues cut herself on the dispenser yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks for this post. We have been debating this issue for a while, and I had looked at the Staples ones as an option, so I will go ahead and get some of those on your recommendation. I have a business account with Staples for my own company, they are really good and if you spend over £30 you get free next day delivery. That way you also don't have to pay up front but get an invoice a month later. They send you regular catalogues and there are some great free offers. Also, you get a card to use instore where you just sign and it goes on your invoice. Not sure if they would do it for voluntary run preschools but it might be worth asking.

Stargrower Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 We use the sort that are weighted with sand which make them easy for children, but they do still have the sharp bit...some of our children pull the tape out on the dispenser then snip with scissors!

Guest Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thank you! Do the Staples dispensers fall over when tape is tugged? If you know what I mean! ppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thank you! Do the Staples dispensers fall over when tape is tugged? If you know what I mean! ppp Yes they are quite small and light - so they need to hold with one hand and pull the tape with the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
