These are so cute! They work great for baking, even as an adult. It makes baking with a tiny human so much easier. The rolling pins are effective without the heavy, possible injury-causing big rolling pin. This one is small and light, and does a great job for being just a little guy. My biggest fear in baking with my child is that she will get her fingers pinched or squished by the big, heavy rolling pin. This takes out that fear and possibble injury.
