These are high-quality sturdy plastic cookie cutters. Their sizes range from 2" to 4", and they come in a large variety of shapes. Although there are some holiday themed cutters, they do not dominate the set so people of all cultural backgrounds should be able to find shapes that they would like. Here is an enumeration of what comes in the set:26 letters10 digits15 animals (duck, cat, horse, elephant, sparrow, butterfly, giraffe, turkey, mouse, lion, fish, rabbit, deer, teddy bear, dog)3 dinosaurs (t-rex, stegasaurus, brontosaurus)3 plants (flower, shamrock, fir tree)10 shapes (square, octagon, cross, five-pointed star, arrow, diamond, pentagon, circle, rectangle, triangle)4 sport-themed (football, hockey stick, baseball bat, tennis racket)12 vehicles (3 part train set, boat, car, bus, chopper, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, plane, rocket)4 symbols (heart, dollar sign, question mark, note)7 seasonal (Santa, witch, pumpkin, snowman,...Read more

This huge set is a real bargain at 100 cutters for [the price]. I especially was drawn to these because it contains all the letters of the alphabet and all the numbers. I had been looking for letters and found one set that was nearly $30 for just the 26 letters. You can easily see why this set is a bargain. I have used this so far on cookie dough only, traditional homemade sugar cookie dough intended for use with cookie cutters. I found the cutters with the solid back part (such as the cone part of the ice cream cone) were very hard to separate from the dough, rendering the imprint/cookie cutout completely ruined. This was the case for all the ones that had a solid backing section. The cutters with clear backs (such as the letters) were fine. I was dipping them in flour first...to no avail.Another problem that causes me to give this a three star rating is that some of the detailed (and interesting to my children) cutters such as the transportation vehicles have such tiny...Read more

Not just for baking,

While these are too much fun for cookie parties (see the set of 12 paste food colors to make fun icings for cookies) you can use these for other things.Kids love to play with modeling clay. You can make salt dough as an inexpensive and fun toy and use it along with these cutters. To make salt dough you need: 4 cups flour 1 cup plain or iodized salt 1-1/2 cups hot tap water Pour the hot water and salt into the bowl and stir for 1 minute. The grains of salt will not completely dissolve. Add the flour and stir until the water is absorbed. To make colored dough, add 1/4 cup liquid tempera paint to the water before adding it to the flour. Knead for several minutes until smooth and clay-like. To preserve salt dough creations for posterity, bake the dough on a cookie sheet at 325 F for about two hours. Dough should be solid throughout, including the thickest parts. Store dough in a plastic bag or covered container. Use the dough within 24 hours. You can varnish the finished,...Read more
