Advantages: Great fun for kids

Disadvantages: Some slight crust waste

This dino cutter is a simple but effective item. At £1.95 from Lakeland (also £2.25 on amazon) it won't break the bank, however it will liven up lunch boxes and can also be used for cookie, toast and sliced cheese cutting.

The cutter is made of a solid fittingly dinosaur green plastic and designed so it fits onto a slice of bread nicely with not too much waste - if I am feeling frugal I keep the crusts for use as breadcrumbs when making toast. I don't normally give in to requests for no crusts on sandwiches but make an exception when I use this cutter as it is so quick and waste is minimal, besides this makes fun sandwiches.

The sharp side of the cutter is not so sharp as it could hurt young chefs' hands but it does push through sandwiches fairly easily. The design of this item does mean that the sandwich or cookie is quite narrow by the dinosaur's head, so if a child is using it some adult assistance might be required, but the cutter works well with cookie or shortbread dough.

I think that is a great fun item - certainly my children love their "dinosaur toast" and I think that this item would appeal to girls and boys alike.

The cutter can be bought instore from lakeland or ordered online at www.lakeland.co.uk - it comes mounted on a card so would make a great stocking filler or take home item from a cooking party.

I think this is one of the best cutters that we have got, and I will be using it for my daughter's third birthday party which will have a Peppa Pig theme. Highly recommended.

Summary: A fun cutter for cookies, sandwiches and more
