Throughout the pandemic, time spent in the kitchen has gone way up. First there was the whipped “dalgona” coffee trend, that creamy, frothy, caffeinated drink. Then, TikTok gave us the tortilla hack with 4 layered fillings. Let us not forget the sourdough starter babies created after too much time spent in quarantine. Your kids have seen you making all these social media trendy food items, and they are ready for a cooking activity too. Older kids spend lots of time watching TikToks, and Instagramming, and they are hungry to spice up their daily meals.
It is never too early to learn from cooking. Just as you, a fully grown adult, have learned the art of patience from your sourdough starter, there are myriad lessons your little ones can learn as well. Learning through cooking often involves a lot of thinking on the fly. Time spent in the kitchen can get messy, and sometimes the best lessons are learned through tasty mistakes. Giving your kids the room to explore recipes on their own will increase their confidence as they realize their capabilities.
However, there are some super important things to teach kids before they get their hands covered in the dough. Food hygiene, and kitchen safety are basic foundational principles that everyone needs to learn to get started on their cooking and baking journeys. Washing your hands goes without saying, but what about cleaning up as you go so that your kitchen sink doesn't overflow from 34 pots and pans? Teaching your kids the art of tidying up while creating food will be the gift that never stops giving for mom and dad. Letting your toddler know that she needs an adult to help take hot food out of the oven will help her feel a sense of responsibility and control as she waits for the alarm bell to ring.
What Is A Kids Cooking Kit?
A kids cooking box is a great way to get your kids started in the kitchen. A delicious recipe that has been kitchen tested will be sent to your family to create on their own. Now is your chance to teach your little chef how to use a knife! So many people have poor knife skills, including adults; your kids will be lucky to learn the fundamentals of
kitchen safety. A good kids cooking set will include lots of opportunities for safety tips: never change your knife grasp when chopping, keep those fingers still, and only move the item itself closer!
Kids cooking kits will have a theme that will lead your family into a discussion on the cuisine, and the process itself. A good kit will have ample materials for learning. It can be: science - how the recipe works, history - where the dish comes from, or social skills - how to share the cooking and eating experience with others. The kits often come with a cool tool or two that your family will be able to use again and again for future meal preps.
Instead of just using their screen time to watch other people make food, your family will have the opportunity to make the food in their own home (in a guided and concise fashion!).
Children’s cooking kits are for your whole family to enjoy together. As the parent, you can be more involved with showing your littler ones the cooking ropes, while you can be more hands off when your older chefs get involved in food preparation. Cooking kits make it easy to turn a daily occurrence - mom making dinner - into a family affair for everyone to partake in and enjoy! No more picky kids battling over what they refuse to eat, because they will be making the food themselves!

Cooking Subscription Boxes For Kids
Our kids’ monthly cooking box is a great way to expose picky kids to new flavors, and ingredients. Studies show that children with exposure to cooking curricula have improved preferences for vegetables. Who wouldn’t want their kids to get more veggies in their diets?
Enjoying the taste of nature’s healthy wonders is the best way to encourage a lifetime of good choices, and a healthy relationship with food and your body. A
kids cooking subscription is a great way to start a new routine in your family. Your kids will await the kits and the opportunity to make and try new foods, without mom and dad nagging them.
Our cooking subscriptions for kids gives your family the tools they need to enable them to have utmost confidence in the kitchen. A kid cooking subscription box includes both cool cooking utensils, and very clear and easy to follow instructions. Brief your family on safety basics, then give them the freedom to explore the cooking kit on their own. Imagine the smile on junior chef’s face as mom and dad taste the steak, they made all on their own from start to finish.
The only thing that our subscription kits do not include, is the food itself. We give you a very easy to follow shopping list of items that can be found in any food store. At Baketivity, we believe that grocery shopping is an integral part of the learning experience for your family. A trip to the store provides many lessons. Your children will learn about budgeting, food pricing, weights and measures, navigating, time management, and handling payment with the cashier. The cost of our monthly cooking subscription box will be priceless for the growth and self- assurance your children will feel from learning these invaluable lessons.
