I am sure the majority of the US citizens realize how bad the ecomony is really getting. From reading the news or watching TV we all have heard that Americans have spent less over the past year. Even the holiday season did not help much in the retail sector.
So what's this have to do with cookie cutters? A lot!!!!
We are all looking to tighten our belt yet still have fun. Especially when we have kids. Why cart them off to the movies (way too expensive;especially with the gas prices) or to Chuckie Cheese ( again we are talking money)?? Why not try a VERY inexpensive way to enjoy family time with the kids using yours and their imagination . Make cookies!!!. And what better way than with cookie cutters. There are many shapes out there on the market and my favorite store is American Tradition Cookie Cutters. Each cookie cutter is just 90 cents.!!!! There are over 200 designs in the store and no matter the size they are still just 90 cents each. You can't beat that.
So you really don't bake? Well cookie cutters are great for craft ideas as well. You can paint them and use them for decorations or gifts. You can use them to cut out clay designs or even make cards for that special occasion. Grandma and Grandpa would love a homemade card from the grandkids. My grandkids used them to trace and color shapes on a cardboard box and make a fort. It made for hours of fun!
Keeping the kids busy doesn't always mean we need to empty our wallets. Just means we need to think outside the box.
