Get kids in the kitchen with utensils just their size
One excellent way to raise children into adults who cook for themselves is to encourage a sense of play in the kitchen. Instead of shooing the kids into the living room, lure them into cooking by giving them tools that are sized just for them. Kids may prefer to play pretend with them at first, but you can show that these utensils are for real food too. I sure wish I had these when I was a kid!
Along with the many books geared toward cooking with your kids, there are many “kid sized” cooking kits available.
Those useful for baking include:
Silicone Chef 3 Piece Starter Set
Sassafras Kid’s Cupcake Making Kit
One geared toward cooking:
Sassafras Little Cook Tool Kit
These are great gifts that can be used for pretend or real play!
Those kits are all adorable! I usually have a problem with kids cooking kits not being complete enough- not having enough pieces. But these all look great! Now to pick one for under the Christmas tree…
