Question

Best thing I might have on hand / household supply to make a cookie cutter out of. Ideas? Making Easter egg sugar cookies

Answer 1

Do you have any play dough cutters? It’s not fun, but the top of a glass should do it.

@deadlock nope, she's still in the eating everything /putting stuff in mouth phase so we haven't gotten play dough. I have round, but nothing oval.

Aluminum foil?

@deadlock that's my backup plan if I don't find anything firmer. That was my first thought too, just wasn't sure it would hold up

Answer 2

Plastic knife/toy silverware with supervision?  

Answer 3

Bend a wire hanger? Or just make circles using the top of a cup pushed down into the dough

Answer 4

A ring from a jar works well and then I just shaped them a little oval working

Answer 5

A slotted spoon is oval shape.  

Answer 6

Deodorant cap?

@byington for the win!  

Answer 7

Freehand it? Cut an egg out of a cereal box and trace around?  

Answer 8

Following, in the same boat. We do have play dough here, but not sure about an oval shape.

@publius938 so we finally came up with an idea about to test. Taking the cardboard with the cutter strip off the foil box, forming it into an oval and taping together. Will let you know if it works!  

Answer 9

Use a cup to do circles and then roll the rolling pin on them in just one direction to stretch them out to ovals?
