(54) A kit of biscuits so shaped as to form three dimensional imaginative arrangements


(57) A kit of dry biscuits and similar baby food products, comprising:
  • a first plurality of biscuits (1, 2, 3, 9), which are provided with an appendix (1a, 2a, 3a, 9a) protruding from a border of each biscuit and substantially lying in the same plane as the biscuit, the appendix having a predetermined width and being formed in the same forming step of the corresponding biscuit (1, 2, 3, 9);
  • a second plurality of biscuits (4, 6, 7, 8), in each of which at least one substantially trapezoidal seat (5) is formed, having a major base (5a) and a minor base (5b) which are slightly wider and slightly narrower, respectively, than the width of the appendix (1a, 2a, 3a, 9a) of biscuits (1, 2, 3, 9) of the first plurality;
  • the biscuits (1, 2, 3, 9; 4, 6, 7, 8) of the first and second plurality being engageable in a modular fashion by means of a removable fixed engagement of the appendices (1a, 2a, 3a, 9a) into the corresponding seats (5) with mutual positioning, substantially at right angles, in order to create three-dimensional imaginative arrangements, in which the biscuits (4, 6, 7, 8) of the second plurality form bases for supporting the biscuits of the first plurality in a standing position.
