KiddiKutter, a cooking tool adapted to children

- Not only is it safe and kid-friendly, but it also looks like an adult knife, so your kids will feel like they're really participating in the kitchen.
- The stainless steel blade has a special coating that makes it unbreakable, yet sharp enough to cut through fruit, vegetables and even tender meats.
- It comes in a variety of fun colors that your kids will love.
Benefits of KiddiKutter knives
As young as three years old, children can help you in the kitchen without you having to worry about cuts and injuries. By using their own knife, children learn and develop fine motor skills, and when you let them into the kitchen, you can teach them about food and nutrition, and they'll probably want to try new dishes along the way!
- Safety: Thanks to its safe design, Kiddikutter greatly reduces the risk of cuts and injuries to children.
- Autonomy: This tool allows children to actively participate in the preparation of meals, thus promoting their independence and self-esteem.
- Education: Kiddikutter is an effective way to teach children basic cooking skills and the importance of healthy eating.
- Fun: With Kiddikutter, cooking becomes a fun and engaging activity for children.
Tips for involving children in the kitchen
- Choose age-appropriate tasks: Tailor kitchen activities to your child's age and skill level. For example, younger children can help wash fruits and vegetables, while older children can use Kiddikutter to cut them up.
- Encourage creativity: Let kids express their creativity by having them create their own recipes or by letting them choose ingredients and flavor combinations.
- Teach them about hygiene and food safety: Use this time in the kitchen to teach children the importance of hand washing, cleaning work surfaces and handling food safely and hygienically.
- Be patient and flexible: Cooking with children can be more time-consuming and chaotic than cooking alone, but remember that the goal is to teach them and share quality time. Give them the time they need and be prepared to accept a few messes along the way.
