Say It With Sillycone

May 3, 2009 By Stephanie

sillycone number and letter traysHere’s a fun way to:

  • Teach your child the ABCS or 123s
  • Celebrate a birthday
  • Teach basic math skills to your 2nd grader
  • Prepare talk-worthy appetizers for your friend’s 30th birthday bash
  • Say “I Love You” to your husband on your anniversary

How about this? Make letter and/or number-shaped brownies. Or Jello. Or pancakes. Or ice cubes.

If you prefer, you can create non-edible letters and numbers. Think: soap, crayons, candles, etc.

  2. Lily Kwan says

    May 12, 2009 at 2:20 am

    I would make letter and number-shaped pancakes.

  3. Marie N says

    May 11, 2009 at 10:40 pm

    This is such a neat idea…aside from edibles like jello shots and personal cookies for birthday guests you can make candles during the holidays that can sit on your dinner table or your mantle. They even have the recipe on the Sillycone website. My brain is going into overdrive thinking of all the ways I could use these.

  4. Liz C says

    May 11, 2009 at 10:16 pm

    Oh I just love the ideas, and what great fun I could have with this set!

  5. Marcy Strahan says

    May 11, 2009 at 9:41 pm

    Boy what we could do with these…..the ideas are endless!
    Not only could I make all kind of foods…but it would help the kids learn too!

  7. Suanne Giddings says

    May 11, 2009 at 9:06 pm

    I would love to freeze Koolade numbers and letters for glasses of Koolade for parties or snacks. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  8. Gianna says

    May 11, 2009 at 9:01 pm

    I would make my daughter a birthday cake and use the trays words and numbers to wish my daughter a happy birthday :)

  9. Helen says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    I’d love to recycle broken crayons and melt them in these.

  10. Heather C says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:55 pm

    How cool! I think I’d more than likely make some rice krispy treats to spell out her name and let her use all kinds of sprinkles to make it her own. Thanks for this chance! Way cool trays!

  11. Dan says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    This would be great for practicing our numbers and letters in a fun way

  12. Donna K says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:27 pm

    They look really cute.

  13. AmandaMaria says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:15 pm

    Talk about endless possibilities! These could be used for meals, snacks, even crafts. A full set would give us something to do for a long time. We’d have to make something yummy with everyones name first. :)

    Thank you!

  14. Lisa C says

    May 11, 2009 at 7:39 pm

    This is so cool, I’d melt different color crayons to make some rainbow one!

  15. Linda A says

    May 11, 2009 at 7:02 pm

    i would definitely make jello with these!

  16. Sheri says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:47 pm

  17. Jennifer Jozwiak says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:40 pm

  18. Sarah Berry says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    Brea and I are working on letters and numbers now. I would love to use these to work on them. Thanks for another great giveaway.

  19. tricia c says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:35 pm

    I would make edible place seating tags.

  20. ky2here says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:05 pm

    This would be fantastic for birthdays and celebrations. Gotta have it!

  21. Kris says

    May 11, 2009 at 5:42 pm

    I wonder if I could make plaster-of-paris casts with these? They’d be perfect for inexpensively making names & words for decorating. I could spell out my niece’s name in her nursery & paint to match, and make my nephew’s name with him as a fun craft project. I also love the idea of soap–a set of little soaps that said ENJOY would be perfect for my guest bath.

  22. Mollie G. says

    May 11, 2009 at 5:37 pm

    I foresee edible cake decorations: spelling out my son’s name in brownie mix would make his day!

  23. flared0ne says

    May 11, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    I was kinda waltzing by, saw these, and almost stumbled over myself — Numbers, Letters AND Symbols! (and Greek are available too??) Awesome! I’ve used these trays, and can vouch for their near-indestructability AND general flexibility — I molded some silicon caulking letters for the mailbox (with glitter and silver paint and stuff) that STILL have people leaving me notes IN the mailbox asking “WHERE can I get some letters like THESE!!!???!” (with silicon caulking, a little bit of vaseline as “mold release” is strongly recommended, by the way).

  24. kathy pease says

    May 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    id make little abc 123 jello molds :)

  25. Jovita Cantu says

    May 11, 2009 at 2:37 pm

    OMG! How awesome are these! I LOVE SILICONE!!
    I can think of about 10 ways to use them right now!!
    I hope I am lucky!! :)

  26. Barbara Rawe says

    May 11, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    Impressing my family is my passion! Please help me to create new fun desserts for everyday and special occasions! You are the best! Thanks!

  27. Lindsay V says

    May 11, 2009 at 2:21 pm

    I’d make little brownie bites in the letters spelling out my baby’s name to put on his cake for his first birthday! Then I’d help him eat ’em! hee hee

  28. Alyssa E. says

    May 11, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    Those are soooo cool!! I’ll definitely be buying some! What a wonderful & inventive idea. Those have so many uses! =) Thanks for sharing such a great product.

  29. Ann says

    May 11, 2009 at 2:04 pm

    Those silicone molds are amazing! I was so skeptical but then I bought one with valentine mold shapes earlier this year and they were amazing! Everything just pops out so easily. I love them. These are adorable molds that you are giving away.

  30. Stephanie says

    May 11, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    I think I’d bake cookies or brownies in people’s names and wrap them with clear wrap to give to the ones I love

  31. Kyndra Sherman says

    May 11, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    I would use these trays to teach my little one numbers and letters in a fun way!

  32. carol~ says

    May 11, 2009 at 1:06 pm

    I have never seen this type of thing before but it is great! My husband and son love pancakes and I could leave silly comments to them! Romantic ones to hubby! Double yummy!

  33. Carrie says

    May 11, 2009 at 12:49 pm

    I would love to win these as not only do I have a little boy who would loved shaped foods I also teach two and three year olds and would love another FUN way of helping to teach letter recognition!

  34. katiea says

    May 11, 2009 at 11:53 am

    These are absolutly crazy! I never knew such things existed, but would love to have a set… There are so many things that I would use them for, like baking eadible sentances, making cool candlewords, and jello shot math problems (for those adult get togethers :p). Thanks for the opportunity to win some!

  35. Angie P says

    May 11, 2009 at 11:30 am

    Those are cool! They’d make cute ice letters in a punch bowl.

  36. Marie says

    May 11, 2009 at 11:13 am

    Now this looks like a really fun way to teach letters and numbers plus the fun of teaching math through baking! Great idea!

  37. valerie mabrey says

    May 11, 2009 at 10:51 am

  39. Denise says

    May 11, 2009 at 9:47 am

    These would be so cool to use for my kids’ parties. Thanks!

  40. Janet Carpenter says

    May 11, 2009 at 9:07 am

    I have a three year old that would love these! We make theme pancakes on special occasions, but this would really expand our horizons!

    I have a silicone baking pan and just love it. The cake seems to be more moist than in metal cookware. Clean-up is a snap. The flexibility is shocking at first, then kinda fun :)

    Thank you for a great giveaway!

  41. Becca Okaneko says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:54 am

    I work in a school. I think I would donate these to the school so over 200 kids could benefit from them! :)

  42. vicky says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:45 am

    I would use them as jello molds and use them on cakes

    how cute

    thanks

  43. Jennifer M says

    May 11, 2009 at 8:18 am

    Please enter me, these are great for recycling old crayons!

  44. dddiva says

    May 11, 2009 at 6:05 am

    These are so cute and would be great to use with Ian- he’s really at that stage where he just loves to help out in the kitchen and also learning his numbers and letters.

  45. Cassy says

    May 11, 2009 at 5:48 am

    These would be exceptionally great to use for candy making and spelling out cute little things on top cakes, pancakes, casseroles, jellos or even when gift wrappin that special package using letters for the persons name, I’m luvin it. wombatspurple at yahoo dot com

  46. Katherine Frazier says

    May 11, 2009 at 5:24 am

    What a great idea to personalize a meal for someone on a special day.

  47. Tammy Darling says

    May 11, 2009 at 4:24 am

    I would like to try most of the edible ideas suggested and I would start with “Happy Father’s Day” brownies.

  48. karina says

    May 11, 2009 at 3:40 am

    I would write love notes to my husband in cupcake form

  49. Christina says

    May 11, 2009 at 12:57 am

    What a wonderful idea, plus such a great educational tool! Thanks so much for the giveaway! I have always loved baking and imparting my love of baking would really be helped with these sillycone trays!

  55. Angie O says

    May 10, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    We would eat and learn!!! Brownies sound delicious!

  56. Aura says

    May 10, 2009 at 7:46 pm

    My son loves baking cookies with alphabet cookie cutters. He learned to spell everyone in our family’s names that way. I like the silicone shapes so we can try making letters out of different materials like clay or jello. The numbers will also come in very handy when he starts learning math.

  57. c. clemens says

    May 10, 2009 at 6:21 pm

    i want to win these – i love it!

  59. Sarah Z says

    May 10, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    The question would be what wouldn’t I do??? jello molds, ice molds, etc..would have fun.

  64. Elizabeth N. says

    May 10, 2009 at 11:59 am

    This set would be great for when my nieces come to visit! I would be the coolest aunt ever! And we could have fun making jello words!

  65. Deb K says

    May 10, 2009 at 10:39 am

  66. Lori Z. says

    May 10, 2009 at 10:23 am

  67. Raelena says

    May 10, 2009 at 9:19 am

    my favorite thing as a kid was when my mom cut out jello to spell words! this would be great to have!

  68. Aisling says

    May 10, 2009 at 4:18 am

    There are so many fun uses for these trays – and anything that makes learning fun is a-okay!

  69. Sonya says

    May 10, 2009 at 1:33 am

    These are so cute! We have one tray that’s similar with letters, but we’ve never had enough letters to spell anything!

  70. Jay F says

    May 9, 2009 at 10:10 pm

    This would be great for the kids to make things for their friends, spelling out their names in ice, chocolate, etc.

  71. joan olson says

    May 9, 2009 at 9:47 pm

    I would actually give these to my daughter as she is a teacher and she would make things all the time and she also works with my nephew so these would be ideal

  72. Nancy V says

    May 9, 2009 at 9:18 pm

    My daughter is a preschool teacher and would make great use of this. Thanks for the contest!

  73. Shirley Hicks says

    May 9, 2009 at 8:43 pm

  74. Cheryl says

    May 9, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    These are cool! I’ve never seen anything like this. I would use these to make people feel special be it with their name on a pancake, as in your post, or just making little cupcake treats to teach my little one and her friends letters and numbers. LOVE these.

  75. M.A. says

    May 9, 2009 at 10:12 am

    What fun these would be for any get-together or pot-lucks. Could so easily turn food items into function appropriate and/or personal delights!

  76. Joel Flanagan-Grannemann says

  79. jordan catlin says

    May 8, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    i think these would be so fun when my daughter starts to learn the alphabet

  80. Adena says

    May 8, 2009 at 10:55 am

    For big family holiday meals, I would make herbed butter and place in the molds, chill, and place on individual bread plates. What a cool touch for meals.

  81. Christine says

    May 8, 2009 at 9:19 am

    This would be great for a family baking project! Thanks for the chance.

  82. Martha H. says

    May 8, 2009 at 6:02 am

  84. Vilma says

    May 8, 2009 at 12:38 am

    I’m known for my silly ice cubes, and I was running out of ideas, this would be awesome. I’ve done objects and shapes, but never letters and numbers, this would really let me branch out.

  85. Christine V says

    May 7, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    a great and tasty way to learn

  86. Monique Rizzo says

    May 7, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    How fun!! I would do Jello! Thanks for the chance. mogrill@comcast.net

  87. Serena says

    May 7, 2009 at 3:07 am

    I’m trying to figure out what’s on top of those pancakes? Is it butter? That would be fun, making initial butter pats for everyone.

    These would be fun for making little desserts for baby and bridal showers! And ice cubes for the punch. Hm, hm. I’m also picturing crayons made from letters and numbers…

  88. tracy davis says

    May 6, 2009 at 8:03 pm

    Wow, these would be wonderful!! I could use these for a lot of things.

  89. Peter S says

    May 6, 2009 at 11:46 am

    I’m envisioning using them as ice trays as a way to make drinks look like alphabet soup. Just imagine a crowd of deep red cranberry-juice letters floating in your Sprite.

    These are really exciting.

  90. Marlena U. says

    May 6, 2009 at 10:18 am

    Oh what fun! Birthday parties, holidays…I can just imagine the possibilities. Plus, I work in a school and these would come in handy for so many different projects. :)

  91. Kate says

    May 6, 2009 at 9:33 am

  92. Annette Burke says

    May 6, 2009 at 8:58 am

    How fun! I’d let my kids use these to make shaped cakes and brownies. Or even rice krispie treats.

  93. Diana says

    May 6, 2009 at 7:30 am

    I would make little cakes from the letters and have a scavenger hunt to find the letters of my birthday boy’s name for little prizes.

  94. evelyn says

    May 6, 2009 at 6:47 am

    I’ve been looking for trays like these for my boys!

  95. ashleyc says

    May 6, 2009 at 3:35 am

    Sounds like a great and tasty way to learn! How fun! When I taught Latin to middle schoolers, my kids loved the idea that ancient Latin teachers used to teach little children the abcs–they would bake bread in the shapes of the letters…I never did that for my students, but I would have fun doing that for my children!

  96. Linda Lansford says

    May 5, 2009 at 8:30 pm

    sillycone trays are my new must have

  97. Michelle Bardo says

    May 5, 2009 at 5:57 pm

    This would be so wonderful. I am looking forward to teaching my child and these trays would be a great help!

  98. AJacobsen says

    May 5, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    These would actually be GREAT for homeschooling! We’re always looking for new tactile letter/number activities!

    forgot email ebtho74 at hotmail dot com

  100. ebby says

    May 5, 2009 at 4:48 pm

    Oh, I like these already! I would use the trays to mold chocolate and use the letters/ numbers to decorate cupcakes for preschool parties.

  102. arlen says

    May 5, 2009 at 3:19 pm

    This would be fun to use and create unique surprises.

  103. Tiffany says

    May 5, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    I especially like the idea of making soap out of letters. This would be so much fun for a young child learning their alphabet!

  104. Julia Magrath says

    May 5, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    Brownies and cookies!

  105. oona b says

    May 5, 2009 at 2:31 pm

    What fun! I would love to make little muffins with my daughter and we could spell her name or even be adventurous and make some soap with her friend’s initials for party favors!

    May 5, 2009 at 1:44 pm

    This is one of the coolest items I have seen in a while. I am assuming this is lead and toxin free. The possibilities for this products use are endless.

  107. Angela J says

    May 5, 2009 at 11:55 am

    This would be fun to have, the grandkids would love it.

  108. brandlyn says

    May 5, 2009 at 11:26 am

    this is a great idea for kids and learning their alphabet

  109. Pamela S says

    May 5, 2009 at 11:25 am

    I’d love to make pancakes that spell out words like “Good luck on your test” for my kids. Or they LOVE jello jigglers, so I could do “Happy Birthday” etc. Oh there’s lots of fun ideas to do with them!

  110. Shelly says

    May 5, 2009 at 11:10 am

    How fun! The jello would be a good summer activity

  111. Angela says

    May 5, 2009 at 10:44 am

    These would be so fun to make message cookies for bake sales with!

  112. Mike says

    May 5, 2009 at 10:38 am

    My wife will love this. She loves baking cakes and decorating.

  113. cathi rushing says

    May 5, 2009 at 10:06 am

    that is a great idea, I can think of several things I could make for my family!

  114. Heidi Gail says

    May 5, 2009 at 9:50 am

    What an interesting idea! I would use them for name jello when my grandchildren visit. My only problem would be deciding which daughter could steal them from me to use for her family!

  115. Susan C says

    May 5, 2009 at 9:17 am

    I would make fun crayons with these trays!

    What a fun way to cook with your kiddos & learn some ABC’s & Numbers (& greek?) at the same time. My mind is spinning with all the fun ways these could be put to use… I think I’ll keep these in the back of my mind as a good birthday gift idea for my 4-year old (I like useful, NON-TOY items! ;)

    Individual cakes, ice cubes, jello, etc…

  118. McKim says

    May 5, 2009 at 7:51 am

    I would like to try making jello in them and ice cubes. I’m not sure I’d want to eat whatever I made after the kids got done playing with them!!

  119. amir says

    May 5, 2009 at 7:48 am

    What a cool idea. I’d love to make cupcakes so the kids could spell things out.

    May 5, 2009 at 7:15 am

    What couldn’t I do with these! Decorate nearly all my treats! (AND have it legible! lol)

    May 5, 2009 at 5:54 am

    This is really cute. I was thinking about some neat things that you can do with it. I would probably try to make some kind of cake product and decorate cupcakes with my son’s name. That would be very fun. Neat idea for kids.

  122. Kristi C says

    May 5, 2009 at 5:33 am

    I would love these to help my son learn his letters and numbers while also making some sweet snacks to eat.

  123. James Jenkins says

    May 5, 2009 at 4:58 am

    wow

  124. Cynthia C says

    May 5, 2009 at 4:48 am

    I would love to use these with my nephew. I can think of so many ways to use them. Thanks for the chance.

  125. Meredith Rogen says

    May 5, 2009 at 4:02 am

    How neat! These are a great idea for adding a personal touch to almost anything!

  126. Linda Fish says

    May 5, 2009 at 4:01 am

    Take them to my preschool for the playdough or sand table

  127. Vicki Andrew says

    May 5, 2009 at 12:41 am

    what a great idea, don’t know what I would do with them but I’m sure I’ll come up with something

  128. Lindsay says

    May 5, 2009 at 12:10 am

    Oh these would be great for getting my son to actually eat food! I think making some frozen fruit treats in them would be fun

  129. Kamela says

    May 4, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    It is a brilliant idea to teach children letters and numbers using cookies …. and not any cookies! Home-made ones! Awesome! Would like to win it!

  130. Dawn says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:37 pm

    What a great idea. We could use these in our craft projects to make candy or soap.

  131. leah p. says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:28 pm

    I would do SO much! Ice cubes for each person with their initials, jello for my neices and nephews to learn letters and numbers. Hope I win.

  132. Belinda A. says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:05 pm

    These are wonderful, what a great, great way to teach my toddler her letters and numbers:)

  133. Melissa Resnick says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:02 pm

    great contest

  134. adrienne Gordon says

    May 4, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    how fun would this be and how good would it be to get kids eating their food?

  135. Stephanie V says

    May 4, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    With all of the holidays ahead this is perfect to make something special to celebrate!

  137. emily says

    I would help my son learn how to read! What an awesome idea!

  138. nadine m says

    May 4, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    I love making different types of cakes for birthdays and other holidays. This wouldbe so cool to celebrate anything, even regular old breakfast.

  139. Christine Groce says

    May 4, 2009 at 2:43 pm

    This would be another way to keep my grandchildren entertained when I watch them. Please count me in. Thanks!!

  141. Mary Casper says

    we volunteer to do a program at the local elementary school and these would sure be great for working with the kids

  142. Ann Fantom says

    May 4, 2009 at 1:35 pm

    My daughter and I could have so much fun with these. Please enter me in your giveaway.

  143. Maureen says

    May 4, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    What a great item to freeze lemonade in and then put into a child’s punch at a birthday party.

    burns1519 at hotmail dot com

  144. denyse says

    May 4, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    Oh what a fun way to get the kids to try foods. I’d do jellos or cakes. It’ll teach them too:) Fantastic idea!

  145. Megret says

    May 4, 2009 at 11:16 am

    I’m thinking Jell-O or Rice Krispie Treat letters! Or colorful ice cubes! Or even crayons!

    Thanks for the chance,

    i would love the alphabet and the numbers to teach my grandson.

  147. Maria Rue says

    May 4, 2009 at 10:47 am

    These would be better than flashcards for letters and numbers and I couldn’t scold for playing with the food.

  148. ann shuda says

    May 4, 2009 at 10:20 am

    I would love these for my kindergarten students!

  149. Dreamer says

    May 4, 2009 at 10:15 am

    I can only imagine how much fun my son would have with these if we made jell-o jigglers in them! Fun, tasty and educational!

  150. Keyomi says

    May 4, 2009 at 10:05 am

    this is so cute! i so want to win this. already thinking of so many things to do with it!! :)

  151. Karen says

    May 4, 2009 at 10:04 am

    I think this is a brillian idea for teaching young children. I know my grandson would love it! It would be easy to teach him ABC’s.

  152. Kimberly Ripley says

    May 4, 2009 at 9:35 am

    Oh my goodness!!! What a fabulous idea. Those silicone trays are super cute!

  153. Jill says

    May 4, 2009 at 8:39 am

    Hmmm…my kids love to bake so I would use them all the time for brownies, cupcakes, maybe some colored ice cubes. Oh yeah, and they would be quite handy for my hubby’s big 4-0. But mostly, I would SPREAD the word around. I have A LOT of friends with kids!!!

  154. Betty N says

    May 4, 2009 at 8:06 am

    Everyone has such great ideas! I would like to use them with my grandchildren who like to “cook”. My granddaughter would probably pick the brownie idea; my grandson would probably pick the pancakes idea. I am sure we could have great fun with these.

  155. Becky says

    May 4, 2009 at 7:34 am

    I would try to make stuff my son could play with, but mostly I think I’d make pancakes. They’re really cute!

  156. Dina says

    May 4, 2009 at 7:29 am

    I love these trays! What a clever way to help kids learn. Thanks for introducing these!

  157. Sharon B says

    May 4, 2009 at 7:00 am

    Our Dixie is 4 1/2 and would absolutely love this!

  158. mickeyfan says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:59 am

    My niece has perhaps the greatest daycare provider ever. They do all sorts of fun crafts. I’d give these to my niece to present to the provider on a special day. LOTS of kids could enjoy them that way.

  159. csixberry says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:27 am

    This is a great idea for kids, my daughter is always telling me to cut her food in shapes, so imagine how suprised she would be when I brought her her very own name spelled out in food. I think she would have a blast with this!

  160. MRS.MOMMYY says

    May 4, 2009 at 6:13 am

    this could be so much fun for the kids and school activities- wow- very nice

  161. Danielle says

    May 4, 2009 at 5:55 am

    I’m not exactly talented when it comes to decorating my boys’ birthday cakes, so this would be so cool because I could put their name and their age on their cakes and have it look cool, without too much of a struggle!

  162. Mary says

    May 4, 2009 at 5:50 am

    I love the new silicone shapes coming out these days. I have a set of x’s & o’s as well as fish (likely a different brand – mine came for a $1 / tray from the grocery store…)

    We often make popsicles in them (mix juice with a bit of condensed milk) and we even made fudge once!

  163. AMy G. says

    May 4, 2009 at 5:36 am

    These sure beat the “old fashioned” way of dripping out pancake batter in an attempt to form a letter, most of which became garbled anyway! Finger jello letter could also be fun….

  164. Nanci K says

    May 4, 2009 at 5:25 am

    These would be great as party favors for my daughter’s birthday party.

  165. Lisa says

    May 4, 2009 at 4:59 am

    What a great idea! My daughters would love these for everything from Jello to cake. Thanks for offering!

  166. scarlette says

    May 4, 2009 at 4:33 am

    these look fun! I think jello molds would be fun

  167. Delilah Martin says

    May 4, 2009 at 3:01 am

    I think freezing them with fruit juice then popping them in a pitcher of juice would keep the juice cold without watering it down!

  168. Noreen says

    May 3, 2009 at 11:42 pm

    the ideas are endless, jello, flan, brownies, ice cream (I like that idea to spell my daughter’s name in ice cream to top of an ice cream cake), ice, cake, you could even make crayons, though if I did that I wouldn’t want to use it for food after that

  169. Liz says

    May 3, 2009 at 11:36 pm

    Hmmm…chocolate numbers? Actually, I love the idea of ice letters or numbers. Everyone has such great ideas!

  170. Becca says

    May 3, 2009 at 10:48 pm

    My daughter has oatmeal for breakfast every morning. In order to cool it down quickly without making it too runny I freeze milk in ice cube trays and then pop one in her bowl of hot oatmeal. She’s recognizing most letters now, and this would be a fun way to reinforce what she’s learning.

  171. Darcy says

    May 3, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    These would be so fun and useful to have! I can see baking with them, or freezing with them, or using them as mold in other ways, like for jello or candy. I have some other silicone pans and love them.

    Thank you for having the giveaway!

  172. renee says

    May 3, 2009 at 8:14 pm

    I would make cupcakes that spell out “Clifford” for my daughter’s Clifford the Big Red Dog party in June.

  173. Kristen says

    May 3, 2009 at 8:09 pm

    Crayons!!! I remember making so many different things with my mom as a kid. I hope I can be just as fun! :-)

  174. Marissa says

    May 3, 2009 at 7:30 pm

    I love these! We have the numbers and letters but not the symbols. Would love to add to the collection (because you can never have enough!)

  175. Madeline says

    May 3, 2009 at 7:28 pm

    What fun! I’d be making crayons with those. Or juice ice cubes for Levi’s next birthday party.

  176. linda "dunkiepunk" says

    May 3, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    Our two year old is really starting to get into naming letters and numbers and this would be a fun change to put our jello into. The possibilities are endless. I have used other silicone baking products and know how well they work. Cool idea to do the letters, numbers.

  177. Ellen C. says

    May 3, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    I think I’d use these for my son’s birthday party. Thanks for the chance.

  178. Allison Johnson says

    May 3, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    Okay, I might be crazy and thinking that I am capable of a lot more than I really am, but how cute would it be to do brownies for a little one’s first birthday party? You could do his/her name, the birthday, the numbers “1” a few times…I am thinking I need to bookmark these, it would be adorable for our party this fall!

  179. Dolly says

    May 3, 2009 at 4:43 pm

    pie
    cookies – healthy ones
    and ice cubes in lemonade!

  180. JJ says

    May 3, 2009 at 4:36 pm

    We will celebrate our FIRST Father’s Day this year–and I can’t wait to surprise my hubby with a wonderful breakfast in bed–wouldnt these be great to have! I would love to add some fun to the morning!

  181. Patty says

    May 3, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    I would love a set of these! Anytime I can find a creative way to teach my girls their letters and numbers is something I’m interested in!!! I would have them bake their own names! Yummy!

  182. Donita says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:53 pm

    Greek?? That’t the one I want! haha
    But the rest are totally cute too.

  183. Blessed says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    this could be a lot of fun – a whole lot easier than simply trying to make the letters/numbers/shapes out of cookie dough and then baking it… that doesn’t usually work out too well unless the letter is BIG!

  184. Lachelle says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    I saw these online and fell in love! My daughter is just learning her numbers and ABC’s and I think I would have just as much fun using this as a tool to make meals, snacks and playtime more fun.

  185. Annie says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    LOVE it! Except – GASP! do they really cost more than 200 smack-a-roonies? I’d love to make all sorts of creative things for homeschooling…and eating… They’d be perfect for getting my little guy involved in kitchen. I’m picturing tastey cookies (I could eat my whole first and last name!) with a fun little lesson on letters. Yum yum.

  186. Christine Jensen says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    I love the idea of making custom crayons with these!

  187. Jinxy says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:05 pm

    Those are so cute!!
    Brownies or letter cakes would be a blast.

  188. Anne at Catholic Mommy Brain says

    May 3, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    Oooh these are fun! I’d use them for a birthday treat for the little guy.

  189. erica says

    May 3, 2009 at 1:48 pm

    I don’t have this brand, but the ones I have made really cute ice for my daughter’s birthday. Jello, not so much. Tried that for the birthday and it failed with flying colors (excuse the pun). There were bits of jello everywhere, almost none of them resembling letters. Maybe I did it wrong?

  190. Naomi says

    May 3, 2009 at 1:24 pm

    We have the alphabet set and I’ve made jello and ice in them. I’d love to have numbers and symbols. #2 would be great for Jasper’s birthday in July!

  191. workout mommy says

    May 3, 2009 at 1:05 pm

    these are so cute! This would allow me to justify making brownies as part of a learning experience, right? :)

  192. Becky N. says

    May 3, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    Are those DAD letters in the picture made from BUTTER?! Even if not, I’m personally loving that idea… Dad loves pancakes and waffles, and that would make a fun little festive Father’s Day breakfast! I’ve also been dying to make homemade crayons from crayon scraps. And Jell-O would certainly be fun, too!

  193. Melissa says

    May 3, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    Oh my gosh! These are the cutest things! We are working on counting and abc’s and how fun would it be to give my son letter and number shapes during the day with each meal and snack. They would be fun for play-doh too. I am sure they are easy to pop out!

  194. Alex says

    May 3, 2009 at 12:28 pm

    I love the idea of these! I am 28, but still try to find the fun in everything, try to hold on to the child inside and these sillycone products would definitely help with that.

  195. Tammy says

    May 3, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    Wow, these would be wonderful!! I could use these for a lot of things we could make cupcakes, jello letters and boy, the kids would love these.

  196. Jessica says

    May 3, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    I would fill the letters of my daughter’s name with pureed fruits and vegetables and let her at them on her highchair tray! Fun!!

  197. MaryBeth @ Four Silly Sisters says

    May 3, 2009 at 12:01 pm

    My four girls are constantly asking for random shapes and letters out of their pancakes… these sure would simplify things for me! What a great idea. Thanks for the chance.

  198. sara says

    May 3, 2009 at 11:20 am

    These are awesome! The possibilities are limitless! I would love to have an alphabet birthday party for my daughter and have all things made out of letters of the alphabet! How fun!

  199. Zmama says

    May 3, 2009 at 11:10 am

    Oh wow! I was just wishing such a product existed!! My tot would LOVE these!! She is really into letters and numbers now and would love cake and cookies and posicles made of these shapes!! Extra yummy!!

  200. NGS says

    May 3, 2009 at 10:49 am

    I would write love notes to my husband in cupcake form!!

  201. Jen Mc says

    May 3, 2009 at 10:32 am

    I would like to use Sillycone for learning the ABC’s and 123’s. These would also be great for playdates!

  202. Rebecca says

    May 3, 2009 at 9:02 am

    I love the idea of sillycone trays!! I made heart-shaped pancakes for my 2 little boys last week and they loved them much more than I thought they would! They asked for more this weekend -imagine what I could do with these trays!
