These little babies are great to send with your child for a school bake sale, or class party.
Try them at your child's next birthday party, and make an activity out of it.

Give each child their own plastic knives, allow the children to add their own frosting & sprinkles
This will keep the children in one place. Instead of them all running through your house, hahaha
