Toddler safe kitchen tools?

[bibliothecary]

G likes helping in the kitchen. What can I buy for him to have fun, but also be safe?

The brand curious chef makes great kitchen tools for kids.

I just open the Tupperware cupboard and let him have at it!

Also some plastic bowls and spoons and he pretends to stir.

We have a knife set and veggie peeler.

I started my son (now 5) with a crinkle cut knife like this:

Let him cut up strawberries, cantaloupe, bananas, anything soft to start to get the hang of it then he can graduate to harder things.

Also a small spatula, mini wisk, wooden spoons, etc. He is now a great helper in the kitchen.

I was going to suggest a crinkle cutter. Probably not quite yet without direct supervision, but 3-4 year olds can usually use them safely with soft foods like bananas and strawberries.

DD just uses it normal kitchen stuff. We don't let her use steal knives or anything crazy like that, but she does fine cutting soft stuff with a butter knife.

I do wish we'd invested in a sturdier/taller step stool for her, but the bathroom one works well enough and we don't have the space for anything bigger.

This is a great knife set:

My mom just got a set of their veggie knives for my kids, I'm intrigued. They seem great.

I had to double check but Curious Chef is what we have too. My folks bought him the 27-piece foundation set because they like teaching him to cook. Then we've bought the knives as well.

IKEA stuff is not meant for real cooking.

Do you live near an IKEA? We got alllll things kitchen there for the playroom at my grandmas.

Not toys, actual knives for cutting actual food.
