Cookie cutters????

[cchavez]

Diego is just now starting to play w/ playdoh....where can I get some cute, inexpensive cookie cutters so we can make shapes w/ our playdoh? tia!

Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. usually have a big bucket of plastic cookie cutters in sets of 100 for $9.99 or so. They have an assortment of animals and numbers and the alphabet in there.

Here's a pic from the set amazon carries:

I've also seen it in a clear plastic bucket.

We have a very similar set that we bought several years ago. DS loves to just play with the cookie cutters by themselves.

You can also get cookie cutters from Michaels - would be a great deal using their usual 40% off coupon in the Sunday paper.

If you don't want to spend a lot, I bought a small plastic set at Walmart for $0.88 that includes a rolling pin, plastic knife (not sharp) and spoon (don't use the spoon). It also came with a tool that rolls to make a pattern in the doh (sorry I know this doesn't explain it well) plus a few cookie cutters in different shapes. For $0.88 I bought one set for each twin so there would be no fighting! They had them at the front of the store near the cash registers in what I believe is equivalent to their $1 area (but everything is $0.88).

Here is an item that I like better in plastic! We had a metal set, I think from the Christmas tree store. The got rusty and bent out of shape quickly and I threw them away. I think a plastic set would last longer and be more enjoyable.

I agree, I think that plastic is much better for this.

I just let DD use my plastic Wilton cookie cutters because I already had them. But you can get them at Michaels with the 40% off coupon and they are a very good deal. AND very handy to have for birthday parties, etc.

If you want small ones, Target actually carries a selection of very small plastic cookie cutters that are meant for Playdoh. Its in the toy section next to the Playdoh.

My DD also LOVES to use a small rolling pin with Playdoh. Michaels and other craft stores sell a small dough set in the toy section that includes a rolling pin. Its pretty inexpensive. I also have a small wooden rolling pinm but again, the plastic seems to work much better on the Playdoh. It really sticks to the wood, but not to the plastic.

HTH,

We just bought a set of like 50 or more at Michael's and used their 40% off coupon. It is an animal set and I'd like to guess it was about $5-7, I can't remember for sure, but very affordable! Unfortunately, I needed a bin for them since the plastic bin they came in was so wimpy it never went back together!
