Kids Kitchen Utensils

When you're trying to get your child involved in cooking, you'll need to invest in some kitchen utensils to pique their interest and make their lives a bit easier. If your child has no experience working in the kitchen at all, youll need to introduce them to the hand held utensils first before allowing them to use the electrical appliances that will improve their skills and repertoire.

Hand Utensils

Before your child can start to cook full meals, they will need to learn to use kids kitchen utensils that are essential for food preparation. Start them off with utensils such as:

Graters
Peelers
Apple corers
Food choppers
Bread knives

While these may not be the most exciting utensils in the kitchen, they can be incorporated easily into your kitchen tasks. Children will naturally get satisfaction out of being part of the team.

With each of the kitchen utensils, you need to go through the basic training procedure of demonstrating, supervising and working independently. Youll also need to show your child how to use each one safely and what to do if they become injured. Finally, make sure that they clean up after themselves and put the utensils away. This will teach them the importance of keeping the kitchen clean and ready for the next user.

A fun way to introduce kids to kitchen tools is with a cooking lesson.
