We've used this for two kids! Ours is about 8 years old and still in great condition. I liked this better than a regular stool because it gave the kids more room to move around and not worry about them falling backwards. The perfect stool for those...

These are good for cutting some relatively soft things, but also cut things like cucumbers. It's nice to not have to worry about them cutting themselves. We also love using these for playdough too.

I love these things! My kids always use too much syrup and salad dressing but they like to do things themselves. So I pour the right amount into these and the kids can be independent in doing the rest on their own. Saves me money and products!

My kids LOVE looking at my personal cookbook.  They love that it is handwritten and has their favorites in it.  They go to it all the time when they are ready to make one of our regulars.  I hope one day it'll be somethig they'll cherish too.

We have these stools around the house.  I keep one in the kitchen.  It has a wide base than a lot of stools do and it doesn't slide on the floor.  When we do not use our big wooden stand, this thing comes in handy.  It is also helpful for me as it can hold adults, and I can barely reach half of the things in the kitchen without it!

My kids love helping to make a salad.  Their favorite part is getting to spin it.  This helps you get clean fresh lettuce and let's the kids have some fun.  I like to let my lettuce soak in some ice water in this.  It gets everything nice and cold and crispy!

Kids tend to pour too much ingredients into things so sometimes I have them pour it into one of these cups first (so they get to be apart of it still). Then pour it into the main dish.  That way I can make sure it wasn't too much first.  I also have them crack eggs into a dish before adding it to the main dish to make sure no shells got in it.  If they did, I just scoop them out and then they can pour the egg into the main dish.

Cutting things like tomatoes and onions can be tricky as there are layers that can move.  This helps keep things still for kids as they learn to cut.
