My daughter received the Playful Chef Cooking Kit for her sixth birthday. She loves it! She loves how everything is her size and that it's HER OWN kitchen tools. I have four daughters - Kelly is the youngest and has the most difficulty eating well. Food has been a battle with her from the beginning. But when she is involved with the preparation of the food, she is definitely motivated to eat it. All the recipes are straight forward and kid-friendly. Kelly has learned a lot about working in the kitchen and about good nutritional concepts. She loves being my cooking buddy and now thinks that cooking is "her thing." It's been a wonderful start for her to feel comfortable preparing meals for herself and others. I highly recommend the Playful Chef Cooking Kit!

This is the best children's cooking kit on the market. My boys 3 & 5 absolutely love "helping" in the kitchen and the Playful Chef cooking kit with their own aprons, measuring cups and utensils. The color coded cards and measuring tools are fantastic for two little boys that LOVE to "cook with mommy".

The best thing about the kit is that my two picky-eater boys are eating things that they wouldn't normally eat! This is great for your children or for a special gift! I am very excited about new Playful Chef Cookbook to get my boys to eat even MORE things.

For his 5th birthday my son received The Playful Chef Cooking Kit. I was a little weary at first about letting my son cook with me in the kitchen. However, I soon discovered that I loved everything about this new product! At last, cooking with kids that is organized, educational and most important, FUN!

I loved that I didn't have to pull out over-sized pans and spoons and hunt for appropriate recipes. Everything we needed was right there in the vinyl kid-sized backpack, including a red tool belt which I myself would love to try.
Together, my son and I, read the recipe cards, chose the ones he liked and began to cook like a couple of 5 star chefs. He poured, measured, stirred and talked non-stop as anticipation wafted through the kitchen. After we set the table we sat down together and tasted "awesome pita pizza" followed by chocolate mountain lava cake! Next week we're on to chicken tenders.
