As the mom of a picky eater, I’ve noticed one way to get your kid interested in food is to cook together. With Playful Chef kits, the kids can have their own kid-sized, age-appropriate tools, apron, chef hat, and kid-friendly recipes(laminated for longevity). The recipes, measuring cups, and spoons are color-coded to make them easier for kids to follow. These Playful Chef cooking kits are one of my favorite gifts to give for my son’s friends age 4 and up. Their cooking kits have received awards from iParenting Media Outstanding Product and Dr. Toy. Playful Life, Inc. isn’t actually a storefront — so don’t show up expecting a toy store. One can buy their products at The Ark, Draeger’s, Amazon, and other stores listed on their website: . Recipes in one kit include: * Peanut Butter Fun * Pita Pizza * Chocolate Lava Cake * Golden Chicken Nuggets * Yogurt Fruit Parfait This makes an excellent gift for your own child or other special kids in your life. The kids have fun and learn to cook — win-win. Maybe they’ll even taste a new food. You never know. *fingers crossed*
