They are a rounded finger shaped bicuit which is very easy for a baby/toddler to hold. They do melt easily in the mouth which is great (albeit a little messy) for a baby, but are easy to bite for the older baby/toddler with more teeth!

My son likes them and they are certainly good for little hands, I have had a bite of one and to me it tasted of rich tea biscuits!

Summary: Perfect for little hands
