My kids love getting cookie cutter sets as gifts. In the past, we’ve received an animal set, a flower set, a sports set and of course the Christmas cookie set. A few weeks ago, my youngest received the 50-piece Wilton cookie cutter set that includes the entire alphabet, all of the numbers, and a few punctuation marks as well. I’ve never seen an exclamation cookie, I don’t think, but I’m sure there’s a good use for it. :)
I think the plastic cookie cutters are great gifts, too, because there are so many uses for them. The following are the different ways that they’ve been utilized in our home:
Cookie cutters (every once in a while, we do actually use things for the purpose in which they were intended :D )
Play-doh cutters
Stencils to use with fabric markers on t-shirts or canvas totes
Stencils for making ornaments
My favorite recent use was as a teaching tool with my 3 year old. He took his brother’s toy (quite a regular occurrence these days) and started putting the letters in alphabetical order across the floor of the boys’ bedroom. Pretty quickly, we had an alphabet “train” that stretched from bed to bed. They both thought that was pretty cool.
My least favorite use for these? Shockingly painful surprises in the middle of the night on bare feet. ;)
What are some of your favorite uses for the cookie cutters?
Cindy: That is a fantastic idea! I bet he loves that. Too fun.
We cut out our grandson’s name from cooked pancakes!
Kailani: And it’s nice because they’re dishwasher safe, so they can go between Play-doh and cookies just fine! :)
mommy the maid: Yes!!! I knew there was one I was forgetting. Great for Jigglers. Thanks for commenting. :)
We love to make cookies at our house! We also like to use the cookie cutters for Jell-O Jigglers.

I love the Playdoh idea. I may have to check those and other shapes out!
