Review: “This was a birthday prezzie for my little one for using with her playdough. She loves them. They are bigger than I expected, but not so big that a 3-year-old can’t use them. The 3 different textures all come out really well, and the plain one works well too. No splinters off them or anything, so they have been really easy to use.” M. Birbeck
6. Elf fairy silicone fondant cake/sugarcraft decorating mold tools
Great Buy
Create beautiful shapes of elf fairies with these silicone molds. They can be used at temperatures from −40°F to 446°F (-40°C to 230°C). Let your cake shine with fairy warmth.
Review: “I think this is an incredible little mold and a great value for the money. I did find it difficult to get the fairies out in one piece without making them distended. So a few tips: Firstly, do one fairy at a time. Lightly oil the mold and always put it in the fridge for a few minutes before removing it.
For their eyes, I used a needle and a small amount of black food coloring — just dipped the needle in and pierced the spot where the eyes were. They are difficult to decorate, so if you can, use colored icing carefully into the mold and you’ll get great results. Enjoy it, it’ll be challenging but rewarding too.” Digby do-dar
7. Potato chopper knife set (2 crinkle cutters and 2 fork slicing helpers)
Great Buy
With these vegetable and fruit knives, you can have a fun dinner with your children. The set includes 2 crinkle knives and 2 fork-slicing helpers. They are made of stainless steel and ABS plastic. The knives have a special handle and are designed to protect your hands and easily cut fruits and vegetables.
Review: “Great cutters. I use them for chips, salad, etc. Great for cutting food so my baby can hold easier for weaning. My toddler uses it to cut everything — it’s not sharp so it won’t cut his fingers. He has fun helping me cut up fruit, veggies, and some very random-looking sandwiches.” Strawberry
8. CCINEE silicone lollipop stick molds and muffin and cupcake molds
Great Buy
Your kids will be thrilled when you serve them some cake lollipops. The molds are made of flexible silicone, are easy to clean, and are heat resistant in temperatures of −40°F to 446°F (-40°C to 230°C). You can make 20 lollipops with just one cake pop tray.
Review: “My daughter loved her lollipop cakes. Made a standard cupcake recipe, filled the bottom mold, fitted the top mold, making sure all the edges were tight, and baked for 18 min at 160°C. Popped them out when they had cooled. I did have to run a knife around a few of them to smooth the edges. I found it easier to roll them in melted chocolate then add the stick or roll them in icing and ball with my hands, then add the stick.”

9. Joyoldelf kitchen knives/child safety knife in 3 sizes and plastic

Review: “I bought this for my 2-year-old grandson to use when he is helping me cook — he eats far better if he’s helped make it. He loves having his own knives and chopping board, the knives really do cut food quite well but don’t cut fingers at all — I tried! My son-in-law thought I was crazy giving a toddler knives. He tried to cut his hand but couldn’t and had to admit they were a good buy! Recommended.”
