FUN WAFFLE FACTS!
- Waffles date back to the Middle Ages in Europe. The earliest waffle irons (known as 'gaufriers') appeared in France and Belgium in the 9th and 10th centuries.
- The world record for the most waffles eaten in 10 minutes is... 29.
Sugar-free waffles anyone? Add an Eco Waffle Making Kit to your sensory and role play accessories. Use with playdough, clay, kinetic sand, or even cookie and biscuit dough.
HOT TIP! For clean shape cut-outs from your waffle heart bio cutter, use the push and wiggle method. Push down with the cutter and wiggle once you cut through the playdough. This will cleanly cut the remaining playdough free. If the shape is stuck in the cutter, lift the cutter and give a couple of close shakes over the board until the shape falls free of the cutter. You can also dip the cutter in flour beforehand if you're baking or using playdough. (This method is tried and tested by our own kids and will save you money and space on buying 2-piece cookie cutter and embosser sets)
We 3d print our Eco Waffle Making Kits from PLA, which is a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, tapioca root or sugarcane. The waffle press also contains a stainless steel screw, which is secured with non-toxic glue. This will withstand wet sensory bases, like water beads, food and fizzy potion play, just remember to HAND WASH and immediately dry after use to prevent moisture absorption and warping. We don’t recommend immersing in liquid for long periods but a little splash and fizz will be fine. PLA is not hydrophobic and may absorb colours from paint, fizz and food.
Hand wash only. Exposure to extreme heat (in a dishwasher or direct sun) will damage the natural materials this is made from and shorten its lifespan. Bioplastics are designed to biodegrade over time, unlike traditional plastics. If cared for well they will last for many years.
