Add another element to your little one’s sensory play, with one of our originally designed and made bioplastic dough cutters! They can be used in playdough, kinetic sand, air dry clay and for baking. We 3d print our cutters from PLA, which is a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, tapioca root or sugarcane. Butterfly cutters measure 12 x 10.5cm. 

These cutters pair beautifully with our butterfly lifecycle and garden stamps, wooden caterpillars and ladybug playdough board!  Playdough is also available to purchase separately. 

Hand wash only.  Exposure to extreme heat (in a dishwasher or direct sun) will damage the natural materials these cutters are made from and shorten their lifespan.  Bioplastics are designed to biodegrade over time, unlike traditional plastics.  If cared for well they will last for many years.

Recommended age 3+. Use under adult supervision. NOT to be used as a teething or chew toy.

We wanted to bring nature into these creative moments. Dough playing is such an integral part of all children’s development, helping build their own creativity, sensory learning and motor-skills. These will be part of your child's imagination and memories; it's worth making them as unique as your brood.
