LOVE these for helping kids to explore food in a fun and exciting way. Great for “picky” eaters that need a little more motivation to interact with foods but also great for toddlers that are easily bored at meal times.

I recommend getting kids involved in the cooking process as early as possible. These are great for teaching cooking skills and letting your toddler help in a safe way!
Chanking 13-Piece Kids Safe Knife Set for Cooking
