Created by a left-hander for left handers…
As a left-hander I found it almost impossible to find GENUINE left-handed scissors in the shops here in New Zealand. I hunted high and low and finally found a pair of dressmaking scissors. The shopkeeper, (a right hander by the way!) assured me the scissors were left-handed. I bought them but when I got them home and tried them out they just didn’t seem to work as well as I hoped they would!
In those days I couldn’t have told you the difference between genuine left-handed scissors and right-handed scissors—I only knew that those scissors didn’t cut for me very well.
Through market research I’ve discovered many more long suffering lefties just like me! Many of us struggle along finding creative ways to cope and adapt—we simply don’t know about all the wonderful products that are made especially for left handers! Products that make heaps of tasks so much easier!
As a teacher… I am dismayed to see so many left handed children writing with their hand uncomfortably curled over above the writing line in what is known as the ‘hook’ writing style. Also to find that very few teachers know exactly how to teach young left-handed children how to write comfortably.
Our “Write-on Wipe-off Workbook” is a step-by-step learning programme created by an NZ registered teacher (me!), to address this need. It provides parents and teachers with a good teaching resource, full of information and useful tips. It is deeply satisfying to me to be able to help so many caring parents and teachers through this Workbook and through these good folk, to be able to get so many more young left-handed children off to a much better start at school and in life by teaching them how to write comfortably and well as left-handers. (More…..)
LeftHand NZ is growing... LeftHand NZ was created early in 2006 as a mail order company to help fellow left handers find excellent lefty products much more easily.
We hope that one day fairly soon we will be able to offer you an online e-shop complete with shopping cart and all the whistles and bells!

We also provide support in the form of information and teaching resources for the parents and teachers of young LEFT-HANDED children, as well as all the correct left-handed equipment. This enables lefty children to have a happier and more productive time at school without loss of self esteem due to feeling awkward and clumsy because they are not able to do things as well as their right handed friends.
Feedback from customers………

“My little leftie was so pleased to get her package in the mail! (Little Lefty Set and WOWO Handwriting Workbook) She has been writing lots and is developing confidence in her ability now that she knows it’s pretty special to be left-handed. Thank you for the wonderful, quick and friendly service. I’ll be recommending you to all the other parents of leftie kids that we know.”
“Thank you so much for my order – it arrived safe and sound and we are very pleased with our purchase.” (WOWO Handwriting Workbook and economy children’s scissors)
