Kids in the Kitchen

Summer delight

I do not know of any child that does not love popsicles.  Treat your kids this hols with delicious homemade ice pops. The Zoku Quick Pop Maker will freezes ice pops in as little as seven minutes on the countertop without electricity. They can quickly make striped pops, yogurt pops or (for the first time ever at home) flavoured core pops. If they would like to enjoy Quick Pops at a moment’s notice, they can simply store the compact base in the freezer. The kit includes six durable, reusable plastic pop sticks that have unique ridged designs that allow pops to adhere securely, with special drip guards for tidy eating. A specially designed Super Tool helps to quickly release the frozen treats from their molds. The unit can make up to 9 pops before refreezing the unit again. Keep your kids cool and happy this festive season! 

Sandwich fun

My gran always used to say that we eat with our mouths and eyes, and how true.  Delicious food taste even better if well presented.  Not only true for adults but kids even more so.  Spice up your kids’ appetites with some lunch time craft.  The Kitchen Craft Let's Make Sandwich Crust Cutters allow kids to transform their lunch sandwiches into different shapes and sizes (for once it is allowed and cool to play with your food).  These cutters are simple to use and will definitely make sandwiches more exciting and yummy. The cutters are perfectly sized to match a slice of bread, it cuts two to three shapes depending on the design. Also useful to make party food and cookies.  The cutter features no sharp edges and are dishwasher safe. Inspire your kids to be creative in the kitchen! 

Kids stamp of approval

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and Christmas is the time to prepare beautiful and interesting food. Why not make your kids’ Christmas morning extra special and surprise them with a special plate of toast, jam en butter. The Kitchen Craft ‘Eat Me’ Toast Stamp will help you to do exactly that! Sometimes, toasted bread can be a little ordinary. This 3D 'Eat Me' stamp is a neat way of upping the breakfast tempo and adding some fun to your fodder.

Simply press the stamp into a slice of bread, pop the bread into the toaster, and then watch the message appear once it has browned, as if by magic! These stamps are dishwasher safe, but cannot be used in the microwave. Get creative on Christmas morning.
