From Rion: Global Grub kits are awesome introductions to desserts that go beyond the usual cookies and cakes that are easy to bake from scratch. Make Mochi Ice Cream, Churros with cinnamon sugar and chocolate dipping mixes, or a Chef Morimoto-crafted Mochi Donut Kit for baking up chocolate, strawberry, and matcha glazed donuts.

🔥POPULAR🔥 Rion says: Including kids in food preparation from a young age is a gift in itself. It connects them to their food and their family, it instills responsibility and confidence, and passes along a lifelong skill. We started with a lot of baking (cookies, pies, and breads), but wanted to involve them in everyday dinners and meals that included our back yard veggies and strawberries. Knives quickly became a part of the equation.

If you’re looking for a knife for little kids vs letting them learn with what you’ve got, Opinel’s le petit Chef set is a great starter. The stainless steel knife end is rounded for kid-use and there are learning rings and a finger guard to help cut and peel. Made in France. Looks great, too.
