The top five cooking toy gifts to get kids for Christmas
My kids love “helping” me cook. They love — even more— stealing my cooking utensils and “cooking” things in the back yard with mud and leaves. These cooking toys are good enough to keep them out of my stash and make them happy on Christmas morning!

1. This is pretty much the gold standard, budget “all the things” kitchen set. There are 40 pieces, and they are pretty cool! The utensils look real and the pressure cooker is a nice addition.
2. This set of kids safety knives is something they can actually use in the kitchen. And at ten bucks it’s a steal of a stocking stuffer. Remember these really cut, so safety rules still apply.
3. This simple chef apron and hat set is appropriate for girls or boys and can be used for play or real baking.
4. This set of wooden baking tools looks just like the real thing and will complement any play kitchen nicely.
5. Every kid cook needs their own cookbook! This one from America’s Test Kitchen fits the bill. With nearly 7,000 five-star reviews, it’s definitely been kid-tested.

I am a mom of two and wife to a martial arts school owner, full-time social media professional and avid cook and gardener. I love creating recipes and involving my kids in the process. The food we cook is usually dairy-free and gluten-free, and sometimes paleo, but we make exceptions (ahem, sourdough bread). The “hippie” part of this blog comes into play in the ingredients we use—I’m pretty vigilant about the health of my family and you could even call me “crunchy.” The “modern” part is that I am busy! You won’t catch me making my own nut milk or churning butter (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m more than happy to take the shortcuts provided by our lovely grocery stores and online shopping —especially in the midst of this global pandemic.
