Toast stamp comes with a butter spreader and preserves (orange marmalade and strawberry preserve). It looked very cute and appealing for any Gruffalo fan. As soon as Eddie saw it, he made a beeline for it, but I said it wasn't for him but for his friend Peter. "Real" tears of grief ensued, and I promptly promised to get exactly the same stamp set for him.
Luckily a few days later the same stamp set was reduced to a fiver, so I got one for my own mini-chef.
How does it work? In principle, it should be pretty straightforward.
Just press the toast stamp into the bread before toasting.
In reality, we made quite a few attempts before we got any good results. You need to press really hard for the imprint to show. Then you need to toast the bread for quite long, until it is well browned.
If you like your slice of bread just crispy rather than
That's one of the final versions. Pressed with all my might and well-browned.
So how did this novelty stamp set score in our opinion?
for performance - 3/5
for entertainment factor - 4/5
I don't think I will be in a rush to buy another one. I suppose for a fiver it is fine, but the original price of £10 is too high.
I still didn't dare to ask our friends whether their little boy liked his gift.
I love the mouse toast at the end ! cute idea though
ReplyDeleteIt is very cute, I agree.
Deletelovely little gift idea...I think children would enjoy the process of 'doing' rather than the actual outcome
ReplyDeleteYou might be right. My little man enjoyed doing it, though his imprints were very weak to show, bless him
Deletemy son would love this - he loves the grufallo

Great idea! I often use scone cutters to 'shape' my kids toast or bread! Amazing how they eat a slice of toast if it is a crown shape and not just square!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of cookie cutters on toast, Tracy! Sounds fun
DeleteI've got to get one of these-might encourage my little one to eat his toast. Isn't it great what you can buy?!
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered whether these are worth the money. Any kind of jam or marmalade would also render them somewhat useless.
