Cooking with Kids: The Right Tools Make All the Difference!

We LOVE cooking with our kids, but let’s be real—without the right tools, it can get pretty stressful 😬. From flour everywhere, cut fingers and spills from wobbly trays, there are plenty of ways things can go wrong. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! With the right kitchen tools, cooking with your little ones can be fun, educational, and (mostly) with less mess.

Here are some of our favourite must-have tools to make cooking with kids easier and more enjoyable!

1. Kiddikutter Knives – Safe Cutting Fun!

If your child loves helping in the kitchen, the Kiddikutter Knife is a must-have! These specially designed knives will cut food but not fingers, making them safe for kids to use while preparing meals.

✨ Available in 6 beautiful colours, so there’s one to suit every little personality. ✨ Dishwasher safe (coloured versions only) for easy clean-up. ✨ Designed for left- and right-handers, so everyone can join in!

These knives are the perfect addition to your child’s Folding Learning Tower, giving them the confidence to help prepare meals safely. Plus, they make the perfect picnic companion—just pop one in your bag and enjoy easy, stress-free slicing on the go.

2. Mini + Me Kids’ Utensil Set – Perfect for Little Hands!

Cooking with kids is messy—it’s part of the fun! But with the Mini + Me Kids’ Utensil Set, your little one can feel like a real chef while keeping the chaos (mostly) under control.

This set includes four essential tools, perfectly sized for tiny hands: ✅ Spatula – great for mixing, flipping, and spreading. ✅ Spoonula – a versatile mix between a spoon and a spatula. ✅ Pastry Brush – ideal for glazing, buttering, or egg-washing. ✅ Whisk – perfect for little hands learning to mix and aerate ingredients.

3. Mini + Me Rolling Pin Duo – The Perfect Set for Young Bakers

Rolling out dough is a whole lot easier when your tools are the right size! The Mini + Me Rolling Pin Duo includes two perfectly sized rolling pins for kids: ✔️ Small Rolling Pin (23 cm): Ideal for toddlers (1-3 years old). ✔️ Medium Rolling Pin (30 cm): Perfect for preschoolers (3-4+ years old).

Why parents love them:

With these rolling pins, your child can actively participate in baking, building confidence, coordination, and a love for cooking.

4. Supported Silicone Muffin Pans – 6 or 12 Cup Options

These muffin pans are the biggest innovation in silicone bakeware since, well, silicone bakeware! While traditional silicone pans are great for their non-stick, BPA-free, easy-to-clean properties, they often lack structure, making them tricky to manoeuvre when full.

Enter the Mini Plus Me Supported Silicone Muffin Pans! With a sturdy edge and handles, these pans are super easy to lift and move, eliminating the dreaded batter spill as you transfer them to the oven.

• Choose between a 6-muffin pan for bigger, bakery-16style muffins or a 12-cup option for cupcakes and mini muffins.

• Enjoy the ease of non-stick silicone, making popping out muffins effortless.

• No more floppy trays! Just firm, supportive, and practical bakeware that makes cooking with kids less stressful and more fun.
