Biscuit Cutters for Kids

Biscuits are a great start to get children cooking in the kitchen. Most are easy to make and delicious to eat. And what could make biscuit making more fun than cutting them into great shapes.

Different types of biscuit cutters:

When looking for a set of biscuit cutters, don’t just look out for the design that you want but also who is going to be using them. Whilst there are more designs available in metal, some may be a little complex for those just starting out. Here’s our quick summary on plastic and metal biscuit cutters.

Plastic biscuit cutters

Plastic biscuit cutters are great for getting started. They are highly durable and don’t have the sharp edges of the metal counter parts. You can also find some plastic cutters that have helpful handles on the back for once you’ve cut the dough. However, you will need to make sure that you keep up with the flour (a little more mess) as sometimes they can get a little sticky and the dough gets stuck inside.

Metal biscuit cutters

There’s certainly a much wider variety of metal biscuit cutters available and more complex designs. Unlike the plastic variety, you don’t tend to find the dough sticking to them but given that they are hollow, it is a lot easier to save you biscuit and stop it breaking. Although for little hands, they can be a little sharp when pressing down. If this is something that you are worried about, take a look below at the ones where they have a soft top to cater for little hands. And for the parents, the metal ones are easier to clean.
