Dinosaur biscuit cutters

Small hands will love stamping out these dinosaur biscuit cutters, and they come in the shapes of a T.rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and Diplodocus. If dinosaurs aren't your kid's thing then they are also available in animal safari, garden gang and under-the-sea varieties. Oh we're pretty sure they will enjoy eating the biscuits too!

The woodland tin (mini box)

These magical looking animal biscuits almost look a bit too special for the kids to get stuck into, from foxes to caterpillars to bumble bees and badgers, everything from the sweet hand-baked vanilla taste to the beautifully illustrated box will charm your children. If you are not prepared to splash out on a whole box but still love the idea, then individual biscuits can be purchased for stocking treats, the little toy soldier had to be one of my favourites.

Crabbing kit

If you live by the sea then this child's crabbing set makes a lovely antidote to all that chocolate. It's a great excuse to get them outside for some fresh sea air and good outdoor fun. The cleverly designed net keeps crafty crabs safely enclosed until you are ready to drop them into a bucket of fresh seawater. It also comes in a handy bag, personalised with your child's name, that's been recycled from sail products made in Devon.

If you haven't practiced your crabbing skills in a while then you'll be relieved to find a handy set of instructions on how to take good care of your crabs until you're ready to drop them back into the sea, written by Nick Fisher, co-author of the River Cottage Fish Book.
